Foreign Language Department at Hmong Academy

K-12 college prep charter school located in St. Paul, MN

The foreign language department's purpose is to educate our students in Chinese language and culture. Starting with our youngest students, 3rd and 4th graders are introduced to the Chinese language and culture through song and repetition. In the middle and high school grades, students can take Chinese and eventually advance to College-in-Schools: Chinese. Chinese culture and traditions are also integrated into the classroom to ensure our students a rich academic experience. For more information, please contact the department head.
