2018 marks the 16th year of the Dover-Sherborn /Hangzhou High School China Exchange. Though the delegations are small, the impact of the program has been immense. More than 300 people have been directly involved in the exchange as students and family hosts in Hangzhou and Dover/Sherborn MA. About 10,000 students have benefited, and many high school/middle school teachers have had the opportunity to teach special classes for visiting students and teachers. The shared cultural experiences have been profound, with new levels of cultural understanding and lifelong friendships forged over just a few short weeks each year.
