Immersive Mandarin Montessori Education

At Language Garden Montessori School, we offer a distinctive Mandarin Montessori program, blending traditional Montessori methods with immersive Mandarin learning. Our bilingual approach ensures that children are exposed to diverse linguistic and cultural experiences, fostering global awareness and cognitive development in a nurturing environment.

Families at our school have the flexibility to choose between three language learning options for their children: Chinese only, English only, or a combination of both languages. We've found that a balanced approach, with half a day dedicated to each language, enhances children's proficiency in both languages more effectively than alternating full days of English and Chinese instruction. This approach supports holistic language development for our young learners.

Simplified and Traditional Chinese

We take pride in offering comprehensive bilingual Mandarin instruction that caters to both Simplified and Traditional Chinese character systems. Our approach ensures that children gain a well-rounded understanding of the language, embracing its rich diversity.

Through engaging activities, interactive lessons, and age-appropriate materials, we expose children to both character systems. This approach not only helps them become proficient in both Simplified and Traditional Mandarin but also fosters an appreciation for the cultural and linguistic nuances within the Chinese language. Our goal is to provide a strong foundation that empowers children to communicate effectively and appreciate the beauty of Mandarin in its various forms.

Pinyin and Bopmofo (Zhuyin)

We are committed to providing a comprehensive Mandarin language learning experience. We understand that families have diverse preferences, which is why we offer dual phonetic learning through both Pinyin and Bopomofo (Zhuyin) systems.

Pinyin is widely used, making it a valuable tool for Mandarin learners to master both spoken and written Chinese. Our curriculum includes Bopomofo (Zhuyin), the official phonetic system used in Taiwan. Learning Bopomofo provides a unique perspective on Mandarin pronunciation and reading. Our approach allows children to gain proficiency in both phonetic systems, equipping them with versatile language skills and a deep understanding of Mandarin.

Bridging Cultures with Bilingual Learning

Our unique bilingual education includes teaching both simplified and traditional Mandarin, allowing children to embrace diverse cultural perspectives and linguistic nuances. This enriching bilingual environment not only enhances cognitive abilities but also prepares children for a multicultural world, instilling respect and disciplined behavior reflective of Chinese cultural values.
