K-12 Student & Teacher Exchanges

OUCI Social Networking

University of Oklahoma

OUCI works with The East Asia Institute (EAI) to facilitate Oklahoma K-12 student & teacher exchanges with China. EAI is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

  • Since 2002, 20 Oklahoma schools representing 4 public school districts and 4 private schools have developed exchange programs with schools in Sichuan Province, Beijing, Chongqing, and Shenyang.

  • Every year, Oklahoma schools send approximately 200 secondary students and 40 teachers to China and host the same number of students and teachers from sister schools.

  • Over 2,000 students have participated in these exchanges in the past 7 years.
