|  | | | | Chinese Language & Culture | | The Chinese Language and Culture program offers a six-year sequence in modern Chinese (Mandarin) from junior through senior high. In a rapidly shrinking world, understanding more than one world language assumes a greater significance; this outstanding Highland Park program offers a unique opportunity for students to prepare for changing world conditions and increased language requirements in colleges. The Chinese culture is an integral part of the program. The Chinese Language and Culture Program is part of the Global Vision Small Learning Community.
Teaching materials, developed, are especially designed to meet the needs of secondary school students. Materials include videotapes, and computer programs with the use of both Macintosh and PC computers. Student interest is encouraged by small class sizes, field trips, visiting speakers and cultural presentations. The New Year Celebration is a joint effort by students, parents and Chinese friends celebrating the coming of the new year, a new commitment to their Chinese language studies. Juniors and seniors in the Chinese program may take advantage of the “College in the School’s” program and earn up to thirty-trimester hours of college credits. Chinese is also part of the IB program Chinese level 6 students taking the IB exam.
