Orange County Mandarin immersion classes start
In Capo’s Chinese Classes, Everything Is Going 很好
Orange County’s first public-school Mandarin immersion program is attracting kids from all over the district – and beyond.
“Nín hǎo!”
That’s the greeting students in two kindergartens, a first-grade class and a preschool class hear each morning at Bergeson Elementary in Laguna Niguel.
“Nín hǎo!”
It’s said warmly by the teachers, and it’s even heard from Principal Barbara Scholl.
This is the first year of the districtwide Mandarin Immersion Program. Capistrano Unified School District was the first public school system in Orange County to approve one. Since then, officials at Orange Unified also decided to offer the program.
Students from all over the district and even as far away as Tustin and Anaheim are attending. Enrollment at Bergeson has grown by more than 100 students this year.
