• Graduate bilingual students via two-way dual immersion in Mandarin Chinese and English
• Nurture intellectual curiosity and international perspective
• Develop young people with compassion, moral character, and a sense of responsibility for the community and environment.

Yu Ming Charter School is accepting applications for kindergarten and first grade classes for the inaugural 2011-2012 academic year. The application deadline is February 10, 2011. Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend an information session to learn about Yu Ming’s unique immersion model.
