This Next Generation learning facility houses a 100% magnet program that enables students to participate in rigorous core academic programs that encourage learning by real world work experiences. 50% of a student’s instructional day is spent in a Mandarin class, while the balance is spent in an English class. The program effectively immerses each student in a culture-rich environment that allows them to become balanced bi-cultural and bi-literate citizens well prepared for an ever-growing global economy.
