Dual Language Mandarin at Reilly Elementary
We are home to Austin ISD’s only PK-4 Mandarin program.

We opened as a Dual Language Mandarin Chinese program in the Fall of 2018.

As of Fall 2023, we have Dual Language Mandarin from Pre-K4 through 4th Grade.   

AISD’s Dual language program is open to all Dragon Dance

AISD students who are interested in a

multilingual academic experience when entering 

Pre-Kindergarten until the first ten days of first grade. 

The three goals of Austin ISD's dual 

language program are for students to

  • excel academically in two languages 
  • become bilingual and biliterate 
  • develop positive cross-cultural competency

 

Our window for application (https://www.austinisd.org/dual-language/application) is currently closed.

However, Reilly Elementary is still currently accepting applications for Pre-K4 openings for Fall 2023 and there are a few vacancies in some grade levels. Please complete the Pre-K screener to establish eligibility for free or tuition-based Pre-K and contact us for more information about spots in our DL Mandarin program after 1st grade.
