About

At our school, Chinese (Mandarin) speaking English Language Learners and English proficient students learn both languages while preparing for college and careers. We have a challenging curriculum that includes enriched math and science courses and opportunities to participate in a variety of Advanced Placement (AP) classes by 11th grade. Asia-related topics are woven into all subject areas. Dual Language students are expected to exceed city and state standards and demonstrate cross-cultural behavior.
