Mandarin Immersion Parents Council 
How do I start a mandarin immersion program in Dallas?
G.L.O.B.E Academy, Public Charter, Dekalb County, GA – Fall 2013
There is another Mandarin & Spanish Immersion Program in Costa Mesa, CA.
Located in Orange County. You can find more information on the website. http://www.rschooloc.org/programs.html
I can’t tell from their web site how many hours a day the students have Mandarin. Can you tell me, by grade?
Getting ready to relocate to Dallas and I cannot believe in a city that size there are NO mandarin immersion schools. How does one go about starting one?
I too am interested in starting one. What have you found out so far? We will move sooner if we had a good option for or elementary aged children
