DragonSprouts
DragonSprouts is a parent-run, 501(c)(3) organization that raises money to support the mission of the Mandarin Immersion Program as it grows. Our teachers and administrators rely on the money we raise to fund essential classroom instruction and enrichment activities.
The mission of the Mandarin Immersion Program:
The mission of the Mandarin Immersion (MI) Program is to provide an intellectually challenging, standards-based curriculum in English and Mandarin. Students will not only become bilingual and biliterate, they will also become self-confident learners, creative thinkers, problem-solvers, and productive global citizens with a respect for cultural differences.
