For 15 years, the CBE and the Chinese Academy have partnered to provide hundreds of students with the opportunity to take Chinese language courses free of charge, as part of the International Baccalaureate Programme.  This program prepares students for post-secondary studies and emphasizes international understanding and responsible citizenship.

Learning a new language and developing an appreciation for the Chinese culture is important for students as they prepare for their futures. Today’s students are global citizens, who have the ability to instantly connect with others from all corners of the world. By working together, the CBE and the Chinese Academy are helping students to be successful.

The CBE works with a variety of organizations that provide valuable learning opportunities that enhance students’ lives and learning.
