Language is the gateway to a world of cultures, connections, and opportunities. We are excited to announce an enriching addition to the curriculum at Chesterbrook Academy Elementary and Middle School – Mandarin classes! In an increasingly globalized world, learning Mandarin Chinese can open doors to new experiences and foster cross-cultural understanding. Join us on this language journey as we explore the significance of Mandarin education and its benefits for your child’s future.

Why Mandarin?
Mandarin Chinese is not only the most widely spoken language in the world but also holds a rich cultural and historical significance. With China’s becoming known as a global powerhouse, understanding Mandarin can provide students with a competitive edge in the job market. Beyond that, learning Mandarin encourages cognitive development, boosts problem-solving skills, and enhances memory retention.

Language learning extends far beyond words and phrases; it delves into the heart of a culture. Our Mandarin classes will immerse students in the beauty of Chinese traditions, festivals, art, and literature. From exploring the elegance of calligraphy to celebrating the cheerfulness of the Chinese New Year, your child will gain a profound appreciation for diversity.

At Chesterbrook Academy, we understand that effective language instruction requires skilled educators. Our Mandarin classes will be led by experienced native-speaking instructor Jade Cao, who is passionate about teaching and dedicated to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment. With their guidance, students will develop strong language foundations and fluency.

Whether your child is in elementary or middle school, our Mandarin classes are tailored to different age groups and language ability levels. All students will experience language through songs, stories, and interactive play and will delve deeper into grammar, conversation, and reading comprehension.

At Chesterbrook Academy, we are committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals with a global perspective. By introducing Mandarin classes, we aim to cultivate open-mindedness, cultural sensitivity, and a curiosity about the world beyond our borders. These qualities are essential for becoming responsible and compassionate global citizens.

Embark on this exciting journey with us as we introduce Mandarin classes to Chesterbrook Academy Elementary and Middle School. Through the power of language and culture, your child will gain valuable skills, broaden their horizons, and build connections that will last a lifetime. We look forward to witnessing your child thrive as they embrace the beauty and complexity of the Mandarin language. Together, let’s open doors to a brighter future filled with possibilities.
