Welcome to Ivy Hall Chinese Studies: our goal is to use a communicative approach to help our students become literate in all four skills: listening, speaking, reading, & writing, culminating with China summer trips where students can connect with their sister Chinese schools, interact with their Chinese buddies, and provide service and learn in a rich Chinese environment.

Students are grouped according to their Chinese language proficiency, not just grade level only, so students are challenged according to their motivation and ability to study Chinese–we have 2nd graders learning together with 4th graders depending on their circumstances. Although we use the same curriculum, as the Chinese immersion public schools, most of our students are able to cover twice as much as the public immersion schools.  For instance, newbies will learn Utah immersion school’s 1st and 2nd-grade curriculum within a school year. At the fourth grade, students will start reading simplified Chinese newspaper articles and storybooks. At the higher grades, they will be reading newspaper articles (up to HSK 4 intermediate or HSK 5 to low advanced level).
