Update to the full U.S. Mandarin immersion list – 7 new schools
I spent some time last week going through all the emails and updates that have come in about various schools and input them all in to the master Mandarin immersion school list. I also spoke with several people in New York City about what schools there do and don’t offer Mandarin immersion and updated that list as well, which included deleting some public schools which no longer have MI programs.
As always, if you have updates or fixes, please email me, weise (at) well (dot) com.
The full list is available here.
