Elementary Curriculum
With great pride, we announce the expansion of our Mandarin Immersion Program to include 1st and 2nd grade, starting in the 2025-2026 school year. This expansion allows us to offer a continuous language learning journey from PreK 2 through 2nd grade. Our mission at ICC has always been to empower students through bilingual education, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to provide a comprehensive Mandarin and English dual-language curriculum. Our carefully curated program is designed to foster global competence in our students, with a significant emphasis on STEM education within a project-based learning framework.
Kindergarten Curriculum
ICC kindergarten curriculum provides structures and support that enable all students to acquire the knowledge, skills, and habits needed to meet or exceed current standards in reading, writing, listening, and speaking for both Mandarin Chinese and English. In science and mathematics, kindergarten teachers incorporate inquiry and hands-on activities to enhance learning.
Preschool Curriculum
Your child continues to grow in many ways. At ICC, teachers will support students to develop physically, socially, emotionally, in bilingual literacy, and in thinking skills.
Preschoolers’ language skills develop when they have lots of opportunities to listen to and speak with others. ICC teachers talk with children throughout the day in Mandarin Chinese and encourage them to share information, ideas, and feelings with each other.
Toddler Program
Your toddler will develop language and literacy skills in a bilingual setting. Early math and science concepts will be introduced through fun activities. Arts & crafts will also be incorporated to engage children’s minds, bodies, and senses. Children will also learn to build relationships with others and develop social-emotional skills. Learning through play is also a big part of a child’s development at this age, and children at ICC school will participate in physical play both indoors, and outdoors on playground equipment.
Parent Involvement
It takes a village to raise a child. Your involvement in your child’s early years plays a key role in his/her learning, and ultimately contributes to his/her academic success. ICC school strives to be your partner as your child begins this vital stage of their educational development.
ICC Mandarin Immersion School
The Institute of Chinese Culture (ICC), established in 1970, is Houston’s first Chinese language school. While ICC’s mission is to enhance an appreciation of Chinese language and culture through the operation of a Chinese-language school, ICC school board recognizes the increasing needs of Mandarin Chinese learning in the greater Houston Area and the importance of early childhood learning. In 2018, the ICC school board decided to embark on the new journey of establishing a Mandarin immersion early childhood learning center for families that desire quality education in a bilingual setting.
ICC Facility
