Neenah School Board Approves Adding Chinese in 2014-15
< Back
Neenah will become the first public school district in the Fox Valley area to offer Chinese after the Board of Education approved the addition to the 2014-15 curriculum during its meeting on Dec. 17.
Chinese was part of the Course, Additions, Deletions and Revisions (CADR) report presented by the Secondary and District Administrators. Chinese I will be offered at Shattuck Middle School and Neenah High School for the 2014-15 school year.
“This is exciting for us to be able to offer the most-spoken language in the world to our students at both the middle and high school levels,” said Superintendent Mary Pfeiffer. “It started from a survey to our parents this fall and their feedback indicated a strong interest in adding Chinese to the curriculum.”
In addition, the new plan includes offering a world language course during one semester for sixth graders at Horace Mann Middle School. All incoming seventh grade students at Shattuck in the fall of 2014 will be required to take one year of a world language in either their seventh or eighth grade year.
Chinese will be added to the world language program that currently includes Spanish and French at Shattuck and the high school.
