[quote=Anonymous][/quote] No, no, no. I'm sorry I gave the idea that you need to have tutors/au pairs and summer in China for your child to keep up in Mandarin. The school is very nurturing and the teachers very kind, really a lovely school that happens to teach Mandarin: Language learning at this age is effortless. [b] Your child will do great![/b] [/quote] Yes, in the early ed program. By the lower grades, parents who speak Chinese well can easily identify YY kids with at least one Chinese-speaking adult in the home (mostly au pairs on J-1 visas, a dozen families have them, mainly Capitol Hill people). You can also tell who is in the super elite club, traveling for immersion camps on top of home support. Don't worry, the bar isn't set as high for the Mandarin as in dual-immersion programs or private international schools. You kid can earn good grades without any special home support. [/quote]
