About MANDARIN ACADEMY

Mandarin Academy is a nonprofit K–5 Chinese immersion day school based in Cupertino, California (school facilities hosted at West Valley Presbyterian Church). The school was founded in 2009 and is organized as a tax-exempt nonprofit; it operates a full-day Chinese immersion program, after-school enrichment, and seasonal offerings for young learners.

The organization’s program emphasizes intensive Mandarin exposure combined with a rigorous elementary curriculum and strong parent engagement. Recent Form 990 filings (most recently for fiscal year ending Dec. 2024) show the school operating on program-service revenue (tuition) as its primary funding source and maintaining positive net assets, demonstrating continued operations through the 2020s.

Notable achievements

Founded and sustained since 2009

Mandarin Academy was established in 2009 by families and experienced teachers to offer a small, effective Mandarin immersion elementary program that has operated continuously since its founding.

Financial recovery and stable operations (2020–2024)

After pandemic-era challenges the school reported recovered program revenue and positive net income in recent filings; fiscal-year 2024 reporting shows program-service revenue in the high hundreds of thousands and a positive net asset position, enabling continued classroom operations and after-school programming.

Documented alumni language outcomes

The school reports alumni success in advanced Mandarin study (including students who later take AP Mandarin in secondary school) and anecdotal examples of students using Mandarin in family and travel contexts, reflecting measurable language-learning outcomes from its immersion model.
