Overview

The Mandarin Chinese language program at Oak Park River Forest High School is a favorite among students. They gain a strong sense of camaraderie with their teacher and each other thanks to fun field trips, interesting cultural club activities, and the possibility of international travel. A number of graduates go on to study Chinese in college. And did you know -- many colleges require applicants to have completed two or three years of foreign language study, and most top schools highly recommend or require four years.
