Dual Immersion Mandarin Chinese

Cleveland currently offers Mandarin Chinese language classes and content courses taught in Mandarin Chinese. This specialized four-year program focuses on increasing students’ Mandarin language proficiency toward an Advanced level while developing a higher level of multicultural understanding.

Current Harrison Park Middle School Mandarin Immersion Program Students

Students in the Mandarin Immersion Program cohort at Harrison Park Middle School are automatically assigned to Cleveland, and they do not need to complete the School Choice form. However, these students will be required to take the STAMP (STAndards-based Measure of Proficiency) at Harrison Park, which will be scheduled by their teacher.
