Welcome to John Muir Elementary School, home of the Cupertino Language Immersion Program (CLIP)!

For 25 years, CLIP has been opening doors to new learning and discovery through Mandarin language education.  Our program is unique in its ability to nurture early bilingual, bi-literate, and bicultural, learners who are already making a positive impact on the word.  At Muir, we believe that every person on our campus is a leader.  Our talented educators are committed to fostering student inquiry and achieving meaningful change.  We provide an unprecedented opportunity for our students to shape not only the future of Muir but also the world beyond our walls.  Our dedicated staff is here to empower our leaners to make a positive difference.  Together, we create an environment where:

• Students develop fluency in both English and Mandarin
• Cultural understanding and appreciation flouris
• Academic excellence is achieved through innovative, inquire-based learning
• Leadership skills are nurtured from an early age

We are exicted to embark on this journey of bilingual education with you.  Your involvement is crucial in building our vibrant community and helping our world flourish.

Thank you for choosing CLIP at John Muir Elementary.  We look forward to working together to create a bright future for our students and our community.

Sincerely,
Dr. Jennifer Lashier
Principal, John Muir Elementary
