[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I too recall reading somewhere that Sidwell Chinese study begins in 4th grade. Not sure where, and I think it's a fairly new program, so not sure if it's reflected on the website. If you're interested in Chinese study that young, it's worth asking the admissions people about it.[/quote] I just found this http://www.sidwell.edu/upper-school/chinese-studies/chinese-history/index.aspx [quote]Presently all divisions of Sidwell Friends, from Lower to Upper, teach about Chinese civilization in their social studies/history curricula. [u]In the Fourth Grade, students learn about ancient Chinese history and culture and begin learning Chinese language[/u], while in the Middle School the social studies curriculum includes major units on China and other parts of East Asia. [/quote] I have no idea how intensive that 4th grade study is, but it doesn't sound like a full-scale language course, FWIW.[/quote]
