Northwestern engages in Chinese exchange
By LINDSEY BURRILL – Staff Reporter
September, 24, 2010

WINSTED — This week Northwestern Regional High School hosted a very special group of visiting students, teachers and administrators from its sister school in Shandong Province, China.

Northwestern has established and has been continuously building a quality Chinese language program for its students over the past five years. The program has grown, allowing a very close relationship with students at the sister school to develop.

“We’ve been building up this unique and special Chinese language program now for several years,” said Principal Ken Chichester. “We started five years ago having a couple of teachers visiting from China and have since added Chinese as a full-time language program, and we have had our Chinese students start regularly corresponding with our sister school in Shandong Province virtually.”

The group from Northwestern who travels to China in April will be comprised of students, a couple of teachers and administrators. For more information on hosting a visiting Chinese student for the week, contact Chichester at 860-379-8525.
