The Chinese Immersion Program at William Land Elementary School offers an enriching and interactive learning environment. Students in this program will receive instruction in English and Mandarin and will have equal access to the academic core curriculum.
Goals of the program:
Beginning in kindergarten and first grade, instruction is provided using the 80/20 model, meaning 80 percent Mandarin and 20 percent English. In second grade, it is 70 percent Mandarin and 30 percent English. In third grade, it is 60 percent Mandarin and 40 percent English. In fourth, fifth, and sixth grades, it is 50 percent Mandarin and 50 percent English.
