Mandarin Immersion Parents Council

For many years, there were three kinds of immersion schools — public, charter and private. Add parochial to that list.

There are now at least 19 language immersion Catholic schools in the United States, and a network for them has been created at Boston College’s Roche Center for Catholic Education.

The Two-Way Immersion Network for Catholic Schools lists 19 programs. The majority are Spanish immersion but there are three Mandarin immersion:

• All Souls School in Alhambra, California (also has a Spanish strand)
• St. Michael Catholic Academy, Flushing, NY
• Maryknoll School, Honolulu, Hawaii
