Piedmont Unified School District Mandarin Program
The Piedmont
Unified School District is proud to offer a
comprehensive and structured Mandarin language program
that will provide K-12 students with a solid foundation
in spoken and written Mandarin Chinese.
One of the few school districts in the US to offer such
a program, we currently provide students with
pre-academic preparatory classes in grades K-6 through
Piedmont Language School, and a five-year academic
program in grades 7-12.
Mandarin IV students
Students may currently complete five full years of
high-school level Mandarin. In 2007-08 an Advanced
Placement course will be added.
Our goal is to provide all students with a solid
practical knowledge of Mandarin Chinese and Chinese
culture, enabling them to successfully communicate with
greater China and its people.
