Not for High Achieving Students
If you are interested in sending your child to the Mandarin Immersion program at this school, first ask for a comprehensive look at the curriculum and a sampling of lesson plans for every grade.
There are many parents in the Mandarin immersion program who are distressed at how behind their children are in certain areas of learning (such as social studies, writing, and even Chinese language).
If you demand academic excellence and challenge, this may not be the place for you.
