Every contribution brings us closer to opening San Francisco's first dedicated Mandarin Immersion K–8 school.
DonateSan Francisco families have demonstrated strong and growing demand for Mandarin immersion education within SFUSD. A dedicated K–8 school will provide the continuity, community, and curricular depth that scattered programs cannot. More details coming soon.
Friends of the SF Mandarin School works closely with SFUSD leadership—including Chief Strategy Officer Liana Szeto and communications lead Hong Mei Pang—to ensure the school reflects both district standards and our community's vision.
