  Recognizing the increasing importance of China in the 21st century, Collegiate has developed programs that offer students a grounded understanding of Chinese culture and language. Mandarin Chinese is taught to all first grade students in the Lower School, and also extends into the Middle and Upper Schools.
  
  We collaborate with these partners on various grade levels through technology, such as video conferencing to further direct communication between students at both school. We also sponsor exchange visits for both students and faculty throughout the year, learning more about each other's culture, language, and philosophy of school leadership and administration. We had an exchange student from Yangzhou in 2007 and in 2013, and one from Changzhou through the 2011-2012 school year.
  

   

  Our partner schools in China send delegations of students to participate in our International Emerging Leaders Conference, and Collegiate students visit both schools every summer of a school trip.
  
  Beginning in 2014, Collegiate began an intersive collaboration with BNOFLS at Yangzhou through our International Emerging Leaders: Asia program that involves a semester course connecting the two schools focused on the U.S.-China economic and political relations. The students from each school visit the toher as part of this program.
