Mandarin Academy provides creative learning within a structured and challenging environment. Children develop academically as they are taught to value learning, discover and explore the world through observation, role-playing, and hands-on activities, and see themselves as active participants in the education process.

Self-esteem and confidence are natural results of a rich, diverse, and highly personal education. Teachers emphasize critical thinking skills and diverse approaches to problem solving.

Subject areas are often integrated as students learn about their world and the larger world.

After School

Mandarin Academy After School Program

At MA AFTER SCHOOL we aim to provide a safe and fun environment for school age children (age 5-12). While academic content is required for all grant program providers, it is the ways in which these educational components are provided to students is what really makes the difference.

We believe in providing the children at MA AFTER SCHOOL with the opportunity to choose their adventures, and while we do have daily scheduled activities and programs, we recognize that many children who attend MA AFTER SCHOOL are of the age at which they can choose what activities they take part in.

Our aim is to treat each child at MA AFTER SCHOOL with the dignity and respect they deserve, and to encourage the children to treat others with that same level of respect We run a variety of activities each day of the week. These programs include: cooking, Music, arts and crafts, animation, building blocks, and the use of a quiet reading area.

We make every effort to align students’ afterschool enrichment with their school curriculum by working closely with school leaders to ensure curricular continuity, common goals and objectives, and data sharing. This solid foundation gives them the opportunity to put wings to their dreams and develop the hero inside each of them.
