SCHOOL DESCRIPTION
Alice Fong Yu Alternative School, the nation’s first Chinese immersion school, provides an outstanding educational experience for children of all backgrounds. English-proficient students experience a rich and challenging program. They develop competency in the Cantonese language and use the two languages to actively and successfully access the curriculum. Alice Fong Yu students are fully conversant and literate in both English and Cantonese by 5th grade. The staff, students and parents work collaboratively towards the school’s mission: "To prepare students to become caring, responsible and competent citizens with global perspectives and credible skills in the Chinese language, who can face the challenges of the 21st century." A Mandarin-language component is added for upper-grade students. Grants and resources raised by an active parent association support a variety of enrichment programs, such as Performing Arts Workshop, Poets in the Schools, and science and library consultants. Parents help in the classroom, accompany classes on field trips and serve on various parent organizations.
