In 1970, the Institute of Chinese Culture was established by devoted parents as a nonprofit organization to share the richness of Chinese language and culture. Since then, ICC has illuminated the paths of countless students and families through their Chinese language school, preschool, and community outreach. Today we stand on the threshold of an exciting new venture with a milestone that promises to extend our cherished values and educational excellence to even more learners: the inception of ICC Mandarin Immersion Elementary School.
Starting in the 2024-2025 school year, ICC proudly expands our Mandarin Immersion Program to include 1st grade, which will jump start our goal of offering a seamless language learning journey from Pre-K2 through 5th grade. At ICC, we believe in the transformative power of bilingual education and are committed to providing our students a comprehensive Mandarin and English dual-language curriculum. Our program is meticulously designed to prepare students for global competence, emphasizing a strong STEM focus within a project-based learning framework.
Small class sizes are at the heart of our approach, ensuring personalized attention for each student to meet their unique learning needs. This tailored approach fosters not only linguistic proficiency but also cultural understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills essential for success in an interconnected world.
