Why CUSD's Mandarin Immersion Program?

Be a part of Southern California's premier TK-12th grade Mandarin immersion program, giving your child continuous bilingual education from transitional kindergarten through high school graduation. While most immersion programs end after elementary school, students at Capistrano Unified start at Marian Bergeson Elementary School,  continue at Fred Newhart Middle School, and graduate senior year at Capo Valley High School. This world-class language program established in 2012 is free through the Capistrano Unified School District.

I had the privilege of growing up surrounded by people I'm confident will remain my friends far into the future. The Mandarin Immersion Program is more than a curriculum; it's a family.

The teachers in the MIP Program are some of the best I've ever had. They facilitate a great learning environment. I can really tell they treat us as more than just their students.
