Sandy, Utah. Population 87,000. Immersion schools: 8
I know it can sometimes seem the only place I post about is Utah. But dear heavens, they are really the place in the country that’s doing immersion the most intensively. This is just one town, with a population of 87,461, and it’s got eight immersion elementary schools. That’s more than some states!

Mandarin Immersion Parents Council 
My daughter is enrolled in a Mandarin Chinese partial immersion program so I’ve found these postings very helpful. Also, Elizabeth’s book is a wonderful resource. Does anyone have an email address for Elizabeth? I would like to contact her about helping us with a conference call with the parents of the 3rd grade immersion students.
