King+FLES+Program

An existing Chinese program has been teaching Mandarin Chinese language and culture to all K-8 students at the MLK Jr. School, the proposed site of the immersion program. Students have been receiving at least 30mins daily instruction in Chinese under the three full time teachers. Students participate in the production and performance of special Chinese events, such as the school-wide Chinese New Year celebration and through active engagement in every day customs. Since 2007, graduating 8th graders are selected through panels and interviews to a week-long visit to its sister school, [|Jiangnan Experimental School in Hangzhou].
