Mandarin Immersion Magnet School is a vibrant language immersion campus. Our students are diverse culturally, economically, and academically. Through rich cultural partnerships and special events, students also gain an awareness of and an appreciation for Chinese culture, traditions, and practices that enhance their global citizenship.
Advanced Curriculum
All core middle school courses are taught in pre-advanced track. 7th and 8th grade students who demonstrate high interest and ability may participate in an accelerated curriculum resulting in earning high school credit(s). (Please note specific eligibility criteria must be met in accordance with district policy.)
New 6th-grade students can join our middle school campus for the beginning track. A Mandarin language background is not required for the beginning track courses. Students with greater knowledge of Mandarin may also test to join the immersion track but will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Chinese I, II, III, IV, and AP courses comprise the language course offerings for middle school. Students in the beginning track can earn a minimum of 1 high school foreign language credit if they successfully complete all Chinese courses through 8th grade. Students in the immersion track can earn a minimum of 3 high school foreign language credits if successfully complete all Chinese courses through 8th grade. AP-level Chinese courses will be provided in 8th grade, where students can potentially earn one college foreign language credit. Students can also be eligible to take Pre-AP Algebra I (7th or 8th grade), Pre- AP Geometry (8th grade), and/or Pre-AP Biology (8th grade).
