Grade Level Overview
Children's House (K5)
This is the prime time for language immersion. Students listen and speak naturally, with the ability to mimic in their target language. This greatest gift allows children to absorb the language with enjoyment and acquire a second language just like they would acquire their mother tongue.
Lower Elementary
Our 6-9 year-olds explore and navigate in the fun learning of general subjects. Through being daily immersed in a multilingual environment, they develop respect for cultural diversity and love for varied solutions of problem solving while excelling in academic learning.
Upper Elementary
Our upper-elementary students continue to grow through a research-based and data-driven inquiry approach. Students develop into competent learners, bilingual and multilingual individuals, and global leaders.

We provide support to parents by offering Biblical Parenting classes and set up of GEM (Godly Encouragement to Moms) Groups. Please see the Enrichment Programs page for more details.
The Benefits of Language Immersion
Research has shown that language immersion facilitates outstanding academic performance in reading and math scores. Proficient bilinguals outperform monolinguals in divergent thinking, pattern recognition, and problem solving. Intercultural competency skills open up employment possibilities. Bi- or multilingual individuals connect and converse more freely with wider range of people. They know more and they know differently.
At MMM Academy, students spend 50% of their day in Mandarin/Spanish immersion time in language arts, science, math, music, and arts. The other 50% is spent learning reading, writing, social studies, Science, Math and PE in English. Students who are immersed starting at the kindergarten and elementary levels attain language skills well above those that start in high school.
The Benefits of Language Immersion to Dyslexic Students
In addition, Mandarin, a pictorial language, utilizes the visual-learning part of the brain for acquisition Chinese characters and meaning. Our unique teaching approach carries countless similarities with the Orton-Gillingham English-teaching approach. Research has shown sub-skills learned from acquiring character-based language transferred to English learning. We have seen dyslexic students excel in mastering the Chinese language and consequently excel in music, math and English. We are excited to offer our program to students diagnosed with dyslexia. Our aim is to get them college-ready by making foreign language learning an attainable goal.
