Who knew Mandarin learning could be so fun?

Summer Intensive Class

Most parents are aware that a high level of language skills is difficult to achieve with one to two hours of exposure per week. During the school year, that is what the vast majority of our students are limited to. Teachers know the frustration of discovering that their students have forgotten much of what they learned the previous week. In the summer, these constraints melt away--for a two-month window of opportunity--and serious students will now have the chance to learn for six hours a week as opposed to the usual one.  

This class is the whole package!  It contains elements of the Regular Crocodile Class, the Immersion Class, and the Writing Class. It runs Tuesday through Thursday for two hours a day for six full weeks. It has 36 total hours. It is a must for any serious student seeking some level of fluency in conversational Mandarin Chinese. Ongoing assessment is performed during the summer to see if our goals are being met.

Special Half-Day Option: This year parents will have the option to leave their child from 8:30 to noon. This extra 1.5 hours will not include formal instruction, but will feature informal Mandarin activities such as story time, extra tutoring help, etc.
