Yinghua Academy is a charter public school. Yinghua Academy is an elementary school with students in kindergarten through 4th grade in the 2007-2008 school year. We will add 5th grade in the 2009-2010 school year. We are the first Chinese immersion school in the Midwest. Our kindergarten and 1st grade are total immersion in Mandarin Chinese. This means that all academic content is taught in Chinese. In addition, many of our specialist classes like art and physical education are taught in Chinese. Starting in 2nd grade, our students have 45-60 minutes each day of English Language Arts. By 5th grade our students who started in our immersion program will spend about 1/2 of the school day in English and 1/2 in Chinese. Our current 3rd and 4th graders are taught primarily in English, since Yinghua Academy had not opened when they were in the primary grades, and since we were advised not to start an immersion program later than 1st grade. Our 3rd and 4th graders have one hour each day of instruction in Chinese. They also participate, with all students, in Chinese cultural activities at the school and in our daily morning meetings, which often include stories, songs, and exercise in Chinese. They also participate in our specialist programs like physical education, which are often conducted in Chinese. What is the Mission of Yinghua Academy? The mission of Yinghua Academy is to provide a challenging and comprehensive learning environment that will nurture our students natural inquisitiveness and will prepare them to be engaged and productive global citizens. Our students will develop intellectual curiosity and critical-thinking skills as well as broad and deep knowledge in language arts, mathematics, world and American history and culture, science, and fine arts.
