Barnard Mandarin Magnet Elementary School

Welcome to Barnard Mandarin Magnet Elementary School!

Nestled in the beautiful Pacific Beach neighborhood of San Diego, Barnard Mandarin Magnet Elementary School is a special place where young minds blossom! We proudly offer a unique Mandarin immersion program for children from Universal Transitional Kindergarten (UTK) to 5th grade.

At our school, learning is an adventure! Our students dive into core subjects like math, science, and reading, all while exploring the wonders of both English and Mandarin Chinese. Imagine the excitement of hearing your child speak Mandarin as they learn about the world around them!

Throughout the day, students are immersed in Mandarin, with many subjects taught in both languages. This approach not only helps them become bilingual but also opens their hearts and minds to a rich culture.

In addition to core academics, we offer enrichment units that allow students to explore Chinese literature and culture. This means your child will not only learn a language but also gain a deeper understanding of the traditions and stories that make it so special.

Join us at Barnard Mandarin Magnet Elementary School, where every day is filled with learning, laughter, and the joy of discovery!
