WESTSIDE IMMERSION

Westside Immersion

It is often difficult for families to be accepted into the existing Chinese immersion programs and inconvenient to send our children to the east side schools. Therefore an effort is underway to implement a Chinese immersion program on the west side.

The following schools provide full immersion Chinese language curriculum for school age children (K-12). Some of them may also offer other classes and programs for preschoolers and/or adults.
