Woodstock School

Overview

The Woodstock Mandarin Immersion Program is part of the Oregon Chinese Flagship, a K-16 program. We offer a 50/50 instructional model from kindergarten through 5th grade. Students spend half their day learning in English and the other half learning in Mandarin. The program is structured on the total language learning approach incorporating content-based instruction, explicit language instruction, and experiential language learning practices. Students learn the simplified Mandarin writing system, or hanzi. Expressive and receptive language development is emphasized in all stages of the program.

Program Goal

Our goal is that by completion of the K-12 program our students will be functionally proficient in speaking, reading, and writing in Mandarin and have a strong appreciation for cultural diversity.

Cultural Exchanges

Woodstock enjoys a sister school relationship with Suzhou Experimental Primary School in Suzhou, China. This creates opportunities for cultural exchange.
