Asia Society's Confucius Classrooms Initiative will be a national network of 100 exemplary Chinese language programs over the next three years. Starting with 20 pioneer schools in the first year, the Confucius Classrooms will serve as model sites for developing the field of Chinese language teaching in American schools. The first schools given this honor in 2009 will be by invitation only, but in subsequent years, there will be an open application and nomination process.

The Initiative will feature online communities, targeted professional development for Chinese language teachers in the network, and annual Confucius Classrooms Network conference. The Initiative asks each school to implement an innovative project aimed at enhancing or expanding its Chinese language program, and to develop an ongoing partnership with a school in China.
