[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In case you don't know, if your child is not in the immersion program at BRES they will learn very very little Chinese.  They'll have a class once a week where they learn how to count to 10 and days of the week and maybe a song or two, but not a whole lot beyond that.

You have to apply to the immersion program -- it's a lottery and being inbounds at BRES is no guarantee. [/quote]

even if the child is in the immersion program, it won't match weekend Chinese school.[/quote]

Can you please explain how it differs?[/quote]

Immersion program is basically teaching the curriculum in Mandarin. And it's only for math and science portion (half immersion). There will be language lesson maybe once or few times a week.

The weekend Chinese school will teach you writing/reading/speaking and culture so their focus is language learning. If you want your kids to be able to speak Mandarin, weekend Chinese schools are the better ones. Making the kids to want to go to the school is a different story. Almost all give you homework and there will be tests - typical Chinese schools.[/quote]
