The Chinese Guest Teacher Program is designed to help U.S. schools develop Chinese language and culture study programs and to promote international exchange between the United States and China.

Key benefits to U.S. schools and students include:

  • Host schools can start or expand a Chinese language and culture program at reasonable cost.
  • Schools can lay a foundation for offering AP® Chinese classes in the future.
  • Students learn authentic Chinese language and interact with a native Chinese speaker.
  • Chinese guest teachers serve as cultural resources in other subject areas.

The Program provides an experienced language teacher from China for the host school or district for a period of one to three years. This is your chance to build a Chinese program efficiently and affordably.

"I am proud to say that we are now offering Chinese Levels I, II and III in our high schools. This was no small feat and the credit for developing and implementing the program goes to Ms. Qian. Her breadth of knowledge coupled with her desire to meet the diverse learning needs of students kept her busy and actively engaged in writing the curriculum, learning and implementing best practices for the delivery of instruction."
