Kentucky Virtual International High School Offers Mandarin Instruction

China continues to develop into a global economic superpower. The number of U.S. schools that now offer Mandarin Chinese language instruction is on the rise.

The Kentucky Virtual International High School, launched this year, will allow students from any public Kentucky school to receive an international curriculum and diploma.

The school signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Chinese Ministry of Education to help create a virtual Chinese course and to help expand Chinese language and cultural professional development activities statewide.

Students demonstrate proficiency in a language, complete courses in international economics and comparative government, and participate in an international travel experience and service project.

Asia Society, supported by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has established the first national network of urban secondary schools devoted to international studies and world languages. The model schools will prepare students for college, the changing workforce, and a lifetime of learning.
