The University of Kentucky’s Confucius Institute’s (UKCI) is designed to help Kentucky schools develop Chinese language and culture study programs. The program also promotes international exchange between schools in the United States and China.

...One of the institute’s programs is the K-12 Chinese Language, Culture Development and Enhancement Program. Since 2011, this program has provided more than 30 Kentucky public schools with the opportunity to host highly qualified, licensed, native Chinese speaking educators to provide Chinese language instruction at the elementary, middle and high school level.

...“Confucius Classroom” is another UKCI program that helps educators advance their school’s Chinese language, culture development and enhancement program with more funding and resources. By hosting a Confucius Classroom, school districts receive extra financial support to help build quality Chinese language programs.
