Programs:  Kindergarten Mandarin Immersion Program 

Application Process and Application Form

Update (8/22/11): Due to lack of sufficient enrollment, Kindergarten Mandarin Immersion will not be offered in 2011-12.

The Lake Oswego School District will offer two half-day Kindergarten Mandarin Immersion classes in 2011-12, contingent upon hiring qualified staff and on achieving sufficient enrollment to support the program.

These classes will be located at River Grove Elementary School . Instruction time is 50% in Mandarin and 50% in English. The literacy component of instruction employs the Read Well program, which is the district’s early childhood reading curriculum.

The Kindergarten Mandarin Immersion Program is a stand-alone program. Enrollment in this program does not guarantee placement in next-level programs that may be added to LOSD offerings. To date, no commitment has been made to continue this program beyond the kindergarten level.

Parents interested in enrolling their students should complete and submit the application form as soon as possible.
