China Night, an evening of music, comedy and diverse talents, is an annual event presented by students and teachers.

Regular tai-chi sessions help students and faculty relax, focus, and achieve a high level of immersion into the Chinese culture.

Performers from the Yeh Yu Chinese Opera Company captivated audiences with their interpretation of The Autumn River and Farewell My Concubine on stage at Middlebury's Center for the Arts.

Chinese School students practice calligraphy and painting in a workshop led by guest artist Sue Yang (far right) from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The co-curricular activity is one of many events scheduled by the Chinese School during the summer to expand cultural awareness, broaden opportunities for using language, and have fun.
