Studying English in Baguio from China
What to know before you apply, and where to find everything in your own language.
A&J e-Edu Academy is an English academy in Baguio City, in the mountains of northern Luzon, roughly 1,500 meters above sea level. The altitude is why Baguio is noticeably cooler than the rest of the Philippines. This page is a starting point for planning the trip.

Before you travel
Since January 2026 Chinese passport holders can enter the Philippines without a visa for up to 14 days, but the conditions are narrower than for most nationalities: entry has to be through Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila or Mactan-Cebu, and you need a confirmed accommodation booking along with a return or onward ticket. Because a language course normally runs longer than 14 days, most students from China arrange a visa before traveling rather than relying on visa-free entry. Every foreign student on an English course also studies under a Special Study Permit, which A&J processes for you after arrival as a Bureau of Immigration accredited school. This policy is recent and can change, so please confirm with the Philippine embassy or the Bureau of Immigration before you book.
Getting to Baguio
Visa-free arrivals from China have to land at Manila or Cebu, so Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila is the practical gateway for Baguio. From Manila the bus north takes about five to seven hours, depending on traffic and which terminal you leave from. If you are traveling on a visa rather than visa-free, Clark International Airport is closer to Baguio at around three hours by road, so it is worth checking what connections you can reach it on.
Language support at the academy
There is a dedicated manager here for students from China. In practice that means your questions do not wait in a shared line: they go to the person whose responsibility is the Chinese students, from what you want to know before you book to what only comes up once you are living on campus. Staff names are not published on this website, for privacy.

One-on-one teaching is not only tailored to my level, it also lets me learn English more relaxed and boldly.
Almost every faculty member can remember my name and always treats me warmly, just like a close friend.
I can actually feel my speaking, listening, and confidence improving day by day.
