USN students participated in level II, III, and IV of the Chinese national proficiency exam, which was designed and conducted by Beijing University in China; therefore, the achievement is recognized internationally.
Among these proficiency levels, level IV is the most challenging level for high school students. Currently, USN is the only school in Nashville preparing and sending students to take this level of challenge. A student who can reach level IV proficiency is equivalent to a Gold medalist in Chinese language.
Here are the students who have accomplished various levels of proficiency. Congratulations!
