Curriculum:
Our Mandarin curriculum is based on ACTFL language standards (American Council on The Teaching of Foreign Languages) and Common Core State Standards are integrated into to the curriculum.
Grades K-1:
Academic subjects taught in Mandarin (literacy, math, science and social science). Traditional characters are introduced. English literacy and oral language development are taught daily.
Grade 2:
Most academic subjects are taught in Mandarin and there is the continued development of English reading and writing. Students will develop their literacy skills through both Mandarin and English learning.
Grades 3-5:
Instruction in academic subjects is evenly balanced between English and Mandarin. Students in third through fifth grades begin to develop skills in Pinyin(written expression through technology).
