Heritage Language Program
Children who can already verbally communicate in Mandarin Chinese are suited to be in our Heritage Language track.
Many of these children learn to understand and speak Chinese with parents, grandparents, or relatives OR attended a Mandarin immersion preschool or elementary school.
In this program, children will learn the phonetics, grammar, broader vocabulary, and practice reading and writing Chinese characters.
