Curriculum

Chinese Immersion After School Program

We offer a Chinese immersion program for children who are 5 to 12 years old. At EduPanda, Chinese immersion means that students are fully immersed in Chinese at least 3 days per week after school.

Our k students learn Chinese through play-based, exploratory lessons. The Chinese language arts learning objectives are embedded in everything the students do, allowing for explicit language lessons through developmentally appropriate and enriching days. Students in kindergarten through 5th grade will learn and integrate in STREAM subjects in Chinese learning.

Bilingual Class

In this class, we are open to students age from 3 to 14. Students’ fine motor skills will be developed through fun and interesting activities in the visual arts, including the drawing of lines and pictures and the tracing and coloring of characters. Logical thinking and imaginative skills are nurtured through the exploration of the Chinese language and the culture behind it. Throughout the learning process, students will grow a deeper awareness and appreciation of cultures and peoples with cultural perspectives and practices that may differ from their own.
