Mandarin Immersion Parents Council

The Mandarin Immersion Parents Council here in San Francisco focuses on the two Mandarin immersion public schools here, Starr King and Jose Ortega. But we get almost daily emails from parents around the country and around the world who are either interested in starting Mandarin immersion programs in their schools, or who have children attending an existing Mandarin immersion school.

Because our emails lists are pretty San Francisco-specific, we’ve created a new list for parents worldwide who are interested in Mandarin immersion education.

We’re hoping that the dozens of parents who’ve contacted us (from as far away as Canada and Hawaii) will join and help us create a community of parents who can offer advice and suggestions about how to start and nurture our Mandarin immersion schools so that they and our children flourish.

It will also be a place for parents from the literally dozens of schools we know of to share tips on everything from finding books and videos for our kids to how to help with homework when you don’t speak Chinese yourself.
