IUSD Mandarin Immersion After School Program
To IUSD’s TK-2nd Grade Families,
Irvine Unified School District recognizes the importance of providing students opportunities to learn a second language and to develop those world language skills needed to successfully engage in a global society and economy. The South Coast Chinese Cultural Center / Irvine Chinese School, in partnership with the Irvine Unified School District, has the opportunity to create and offer an after school Mandarin immersion program for students in grades K-3 during the 2019-20 school year.
In an effort to measure the community’s interest in having available a language immersion program, we are asking parents to complete the following survey. All information will be kept confidential.
