HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — A group of Chinese students is visiting Kansas as part of a two-week trip to experience American education and see some sites.

The students from Shanghai Southwest Weiyu Middle School are studying at The Independent School in Wichita.

Teacher Helen Huang Xujuan says the program might someday lead to a semester- or year-long exchange program between the Chinese middle school and Kansas schools.

The Hutchinson News reports  the students are staying with host families in Wichita. They visited the Comosphere in Hutchinson Saturday.

The teacher says the students aren’t sure what they will do after school but many may try to attend college in the U.S.

The students will fly to Denver Friday before flying home to China.
