The Mandarin language program aims to develop the skills of our students based on their linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Whether this is a student’s first exposure to Mandarin or it is their first language, our two-track or stream approach caters to a wide variety of learners.
Students enter either the Near Natives Program or Mandarin as a Second Language. Both programs support and honor the position of offering Mandarin Chinese and Chinese Culture as an additional language rather than on a bilingual platform.
