What Parents Have to Say
My daughter loves this program! She is engaged in her learning and is excited to go to school every day. Her teachers are dedicated professionals who have fostered her academic growth in all subject areas. We are so fortunate to have this high-quality program available to us in our neighborhood school!"
– Nancy Spencer, mother of a 2nd grader.
I feel that having our children in a Mandarin immersion program is helping them to be better prepared to compete in the global economy. I have loved watching my daughter’s competency in speaking and understanding Mandarin grow year after year and feel it will be a huge advantage to learn a second language at such a young age.”
