Punahou School The Chinese Language Program at Punahou School offers three types of language learning: Chinese classes for seventh through twelfth grade students, Foreign Language Exposure (FLEX) program, and an after school Mandarin Chinese Immersion program. There are currently around 900 students studying Chinese at Punahou School from kindergarten to the twelfth grade.
Punahou has two Chinese teachers in the Junior School (elementary and middle school) and four Chinese teachers in the Academy (high school). The Junior School offers two years of Chinese (equivalent of Chinese 1 at the Academy) to seventh and eighth grade students. The Academy Chinese classes have five levels, from Chinese 1 to Chinese 5 Honors, plus a Chinese Heritage 1 class for students with strong Chinese heritage background. Many of our Academy students take the AP Chinese Exam and continue 3rd year Mandarin in college.
The Foreign Language Exposure (FLEX) program is offered to the elementary school students in first and sixth grade. First graders experience an introduction to Chinese language and culture through games, songs, arts and crafts, and various cultural activities for two semesters during the school year. Sixth graders also receive a Chinese language and culture experience for a trimester during the school year.
Punahou’s Wo International Center offers an after-school Mandarin Chinese Immersion program for students in kindergarten through grade three. This program provides a cultural and theme-based immersion environment to help students learn Mandarin through activities and play.
In addition, Punahou students also have opportunities to visit China. The Wo International Center offers a Capstone China Trip every summer to rising seniors. The program provides opportunities for students to interact with Chinese youth through community service and experience immersively the Chinese language and culture. The Wo International Center also offers a trip to China for middle school students during spring break to visit schools and experience life in China by doing a home-stay.
Lastly, Punahou is a member of the School Year Abroad (SYA) Consortium, which provides high school Juniors a full year living abroad in China. Through the years, about ten Punahou juniors have spent their junior year living with a host family in Beijing while attending SYA. Punahou seniors also have an option to spend a second semester in Yunnan to conduct intensive project-based student research through the Sidwell Friends School China Fieldwork Semester (CFS).
