Welcome to the China Exchange Blog!

Welcome to our new blog, the Dover-Sherborn China Exchange Journal! Today marks the beginning of the 5th year of the D/S China Exchange. Though the delegations are small in number, their impact has been immense. More than 150 people have been directly involved in the exchange as students and family hosts in China and the U.S. More than 5,000 students have been taught on both sides of the Pacific, and many teachers from both high schools and middle schools have participated in teaching special classes for visiting students and teachers . Most profound, however, have been the shared cultural experiences, the new level of cultural understanding and the lifelong friendships forged over several weeks.

Enjoy these journal entries of each group's experiences!
