The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. School provides two options for pursuing Mandarin language study. Students may pursue a sequential immersion option focused on the development of biliteracy in both English and Mandarin or they may choose to balance daily Mandarin lessons with other core content. For preschool – grades 2, classrooms follow two learning strands, which merge together for English and Mandarin instruction for grades 3 – 5.
The school’s programs prepare, enrich, and challenge students for success as global citizens and scholars. They benefit from an expanded learning day, which provides opportunities for increased enrichment and more time on core subject areas.
The extended learning day also offers teachers the flexibility to set the pace and intensity of learning based on student needs and interests. This time also enables the school to offer enhanced enrichment that captures students’ curiosity.
The school is located in a state-of-the-art, environmentally sustainable building. Housed alongside Putnam Avenue Upper School, students benefit from this wonderful facility for their entire K – 8 experience. The school community embodies kindness, commitment, and care where students experience a nurturing and innovative learning environment.
