Chinese Language & Culture Challenge

Challenge & eligibility

A focused pilot for selected Chinese programs.

The Phase 1 pilot is designed for students in grades 3–12 who are invited through an approved participating school, program, or guardian route.

How the pilot works

Pilot fit

The first pilot supports grade bands 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12, beginning with World Language and Heritage Learner tracks. We defer advanced and immersion divisions until there is enough evidence and content capacity.

What a student needs

A guardian-approved account, current school or program attribution when applicable, required participation and recording consent, and a supported desktop or laptop for the scheduled challenge.

What this is not

It is not a national final, public leaderboard, automated high-stakes score, college-credit claim, or official ACTFL, AP, or Seal of Biliteracy credential.
