At VIS, Mandarin is the Language and Cultural Studies component of the IB Career-related Programme. Alongside our Enterprise and Entrepreneurship course, we equip our young adults with far more than language skills. We provide them with a gateway to understanding different perspectives, building international relationships, and creating opportunities for meaningful collaboration across borders.
Ms Li Liu, our dedicated language teacher, is opening doors to a rich culture. Through her innovative approachblending language instruction with cooking, the arts, social events, and cultural celebrationsshe brings Mandarin alive in ways that inspire genuine curiosity and respect.
Thanks go to the China Cultural Centre for the validation and recognition of the school's intercultural endeavours.
