Mandarin & English Program

A dual language program that helps children understand, learn, and communicate in both languages: Mandarin and English.

This program is only available at the Fontana Campus for our Primary students.

Our English/Mandarin Class, Daffodil, is a traditional Montessori Primary environment that will now have Chinese Mandarin Education as an additional component. The class will be based on the Montessori philosophies and principles, so the children learn the Mandarin language in the Montessori way. In addition to the traditional Montessori environment, the class will have a full Chinese language Montessori material shelf, and translated materials in math, sensorial, geography, culture, and science. The children will be presented with Montessori activities in English and Chinese and as a result, the children will naturally acquire a broad vocabulary in both languages. Chinese and English instruction will be done in small groups and targeted to each child’s individual level according to their pace. Older children who are ready to read and write will have the opportunity to do so individually as well as in small groups. We will also include Chinese literature, history, music, and geography as part of our lessons.
