“As a language immersion program, they are fantastic in keeping kids engaged and using Chinese in variety of ways to ensure their proficiency. The teachers and staff are caring and so approachable. The curriculum is comprehensive, and the children enjoy learning. They do a great job encouraging respectful and kind behavior amongst the peers with a growth centric model for the youngsters. I have 3 children and only wish I had found this school sooner for my older ones who also went to schools, but MISH is my favorite. I highly highly recommend it as an elementary and as an immersion program."

"We are so glad to have found MISH! We have no background in Chinese or Chinese heritage but we knew we wanted our daughter in a language immersion program. We looked at several mandarin programs in Houston but when we toured the facility and spoke with the director we knew this was the one. We can't say enough good things about this school, the director and the fantastic teachers and staff!"

“We have 2 children who attend MISH and their development, both Chinese and other subject areas, is nothing short of amazing. My kids have developed a real love of learning that I fully credit to the environment MISH created. The teachers and administrators truly care and it shows in every aspect of the school, from the daily classwork to the twice/year performances. We're very happy to have found MISH and would strongly recommend the school to other parents.”

“Mandarin Immersion School of Houston has a team of incredible teachers and staff. The low teacher to student ratio ensures that our kindergartener and 2nd grader are not only achieving elite academic success, but really enjoying learning. The MISH parent community is also passionate to help foster an environment where all of our kids can learn Mandarin and thrive academically and socially!”

“Our daughter continues to thrive at this school despite the fact that we don't speak Mandarin at home. The staff is warm and loving, the curriculum is comprehensive and academically strong. The teachers and administrators are accessible and professional, and the school community is tight-knit. I would highly recommend this elementary school to anyone looking for a great education at an affordable cost."
