The LEAP Framework™
Building Sustainable Mandarin Immersion Programs
At Language Leap, we believe successful Mandarin immersion programs require more than language instruction alone.
The LEAP Framework™ was developed to help districts, educators, families, and students build sustainable pathways toward biliteracy, cultural competency, academic achievement, and long-term program success.
