Application Window for the 2026-2027 School Year: November 17-December 19, 2025
The application window for Bergeson’s TK and Kindergarten MIP program is open from November 17 to December 19. Families who apply during this period will receive priority consideration. Once all applications from the enrollment window have been processed, any additional applicants will be placed on a waiting list until there are enough students to form an additional class.
New families interested in enrolling in grades 1–5 are encouraged to attend the orientation. Availability for these grades will depend on current enrollment. Students entering TK through 1st grade do not need to take a Mandarin proficiency test, while students entering grades 2–5 will be required to take a placement test once space in that grade level is confirmed.
We look forward to welcoming you soon!

Virtual Information Sessions for Grades 1-5
This year, we are excited to offer virtual information sessions for families interested in enrolling in grades 1 through 5. During these sessions, you’ll hear directly from our principal and a panel of current parents whose children successfully joined our Mandarin Immersion Program in grades 1 through 5. We will also review the enrollment process and explain what to expect on the Mandarin proficiency test, so families can feel confident and well-prepared every step of the way.
