EARLY LEARNING MANDARIN
Welcome to Happy Hall’s Mandarin Program, designed for children aged 3-5 years. Our program integrates Mandarin language learning into every aspect of our educational offerings, creating a rich, immersive environment where young learners can thrive.
Guided by our experiential learning philosophy, we believe in the transformative power of hands-on experiences and real-world exploration. This method helps children deeply internalize concepts and ignites their passion for discovery, equipping them with skills that are applicable in diverse settings.
MULTILINGUALISM
Our Mandarin curriculum builds on Happy Hall's broader educational program, reinforcing foundational knowledge, skills, and concepts across core academic areas.
Mandarin instruction encompasses at least half of our students' daily schedule, fostering balanced language proficiency. With a collaborative teaching approach, one English-speaking and one Mandarin-speaking teacher work together to emphasize foundational literacy and numeracy.
BENEFITS OF MULTILINGUALISM
Multilingual children gain cognitive, academic, and social advantages in educational settings and beyond. Children absorb another language more readily when instructed in an organic bilingual environment. This natural immersion method enhances their language proficiency and cultural understanding, preparing them for a globally interconnected world.
