Our Programs
Everything VSC does is free for students. Our work spans four areas — from community events to accredited education programs to original employment research.
Community Programs (2022–present)
Since 2022, VSC has co-organized over 50 outdoor campfire events for Chinese international students across Southern California — helping students experience American culture, build friendships, and find a sense of belonging.

Education Pathways (2024–present)
VSC is the exclusive China regional agent for Advantage School International (ASI), an accredited American online high school program. Through our partnership with Global Harmony Academy, we help Chinese high school students convert their Chinese curriculum into U.S. high school credits, earn an accredited American diploma, and access ASU online college courses

University Partnerships (2025–present)
In 2025, VSC expanded to support university-level partnerships. We work with U.S. universities to expand student recruitment in China, and we provide support services for Chinese international students already enrolled — including campus life guidance, career education, and employment resources. We hold a formal five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Avila University (Kansas City, MO), signed by Dr. Andrew Vogel, Vice President of Global Strategy.

Employment Research (2026–present)
In 2026, VSC launched its first major research initiative in response to significant policy changes and visa challenges affecting Chinese international students. We are producing the 2026 Chinese International Student Employment White Paper — interviewing 50+ U.S. employers and surveying graduating Chinese students. The white paper will be freely available to all students and universities.
Research is led by Dr. Barbara Franks (Ed.D.), an international educator with 17 years of experience and 11 years leading academic programs in China.
