Dual Language 雙語課程
Our Dual Language program strives to have students achieve academically while developing fluency in both English and Chinese (Mandarin). We use a 50-50 partial immersion, also known as the balanced model. 50% of our instruction is conducted using English and 50% using Chinese (Mandarin). Our Kindergarten and first grade classes follow a self-contained half day rollercoaster model. One bilingual teacher instructs his or her class by alternating the instructional language based on the half day. Our 2nd and 3rd grade classes follow the side-by-side alternate day model. Two teachers in two different classrooms instruct in either Mandarin or English language on alternate days. The students attend alternate classes between the two teachers receiving instruction in both Mandarin Chinese and English. Our 4th -8th grade classes follow departmentalized program where subject areas, such as Mathematics, Social Studies, Chinese Language Arts, Music, and Dance, are delivered in both Mandarin and English.
我們的雙語教學課程力求讓學生達到學習目標，同時培養流利的中英雙語能力。我們使用50-50部分浸入式教學法，也被稱為均衡模式。我們的教師運用50％英文和50％中文進行教學。我們的幼稚班和一年級遵循配套齊全的半天輪替的教學模式。雙語教師根據半天輪替語言教學的基礎，在不同的時段運用不同的語言教學。二至三年級遵循齊頭並進隔日教學模式。兩位老師在兩間不同的教室隔日以中文或英文指導學生。學生們會交替進入兩位老師的教室，接受中英雙語的教導。四至八年級則依科目進行中英雙文教學，如數學、語文、音樂、舞蹈等課程。
