If you don’t know all the answers, don’t worry. Answer as many of them as you can and email me and I’ll update the list. Please refer to the list of questions below. Immersioneducation (at) gmail (dot) com = If your school is not listed, or is listed incorrectly, So 0 – 5 means the school offers immersion in Kindergarten through fifth grade.Įlizabeth Weise, author, A Parent’s Guide to Mandarin Immersion That way it’s easier to sort by grade, Excel didn’t know what to do with K’s. In the column listing grades offered, 0 = Kindergarten. Most offer one or two classes per day or Mandarin immersion students, so typically 20% or 30% of the day is taught in Mandarin. For middle and high school programs, they simply need to be continuations of an elementary school immersion program. Note that the 50% rule only applies to K-5 schools. Though I include a couple of schools that to triple immersion, using English, Mandarin and a third language. This is that at least 50% of the day in elementary school is taught in Mandarin and that academic subjects are taught in Mandarin, not simply that Mandarin is taught. I use the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA) definition of immersion. Please note that the list doesn’t include preschools, only elementary, middle and high schools. I strive to keep the list as up-to-date as possible but don’t always hear about new schools or changes. There are also tabs at the bottom for international programs and Cantonese programs.Īs always, please tell me if you know of a school that’s not listed here and should be, or one whose listing contains errors.
