Afterschool Mandarin Class
Our afterschool Mandarin classes are designed to support and enrich students already enrolled in a Mandarin immersion program and jumpstart new language learners in TK and Kindergarten. Through engaging activities, cultural projects, music and story time, students reinforce classroom learning while expanding vocabulary and confidence in speaking. It’s a fun and meaningful way to deepen their connection to the language outside regular school hours.
