First elementary school in the US to host Chinese students

In the Spring of 2007, The Cushman School became the first elementary school in the United States to host international exchange students from China. Twelve students and three school representatives from the Affiliated Elementary School of Hunan University of Changsha were guests of Cushman students, parents and teachers.

South Florida's Channel 6 covered the story:

This invaluable experience allowed the Chinese and American students to learn about each other's cultures, languages, and customs.

As part of the exchange program, a group from the Cushman School will pay our new Chinese friends a visit from September 26th-October 19th.
