Cupertino Language Immersion Program (CLIP) Goals

Our program’s goal is to give students of the Cupertino Union School District the opportunity to develop high levels of proficiency in understanding, speaking, reading, and writing in English and Mandarin. These students will
be able to communicate effectively in both languages and achieve proficiency in all academic subjects that will meet or exceed district guidelines. This program is based on a model where the target language, Mandarin, is a vehicle of instruction, not the focus. Additionally, this program will develop in our children an international perspective and appreciation for cultural diversity.
