Overview Paragraph

At our school, Chinese (Mandarin) speaking English Language Learners and English proficient students learn both languages while preparing for college and careers. We have a challenging curriculum that includes enriched math and science courses and opportunities to participate in a variety of Advanced Placement (AP) classes by eleventh grade. Asia-related topics are woven into all subject areas. Dual Language students are expected to exceed city and state standards and demonstrate cross-cultural behavior. English proficient students and English Language Learners learn together in both languages. All students are expected to comprehend, speak, read, and write in English and Chinese by the time they graduate.
