PVCICS's curriculum is aligned with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks (MCFs) standards and learning strands for Arts, English Language Arts, Foreign Languages, Comprehensive Health, Mathematics, History/Social Science, Science and Technology/Engineering. PVCICS’s curriculum addresses the learner outcomes for all Massachusetts students at a given grade level. Instructional strategies and resources are compatible with best practices in immersion education. Teachers develop unit and lesson plans that address learner outcomes as well as describe instructional delivery using best practices in immersion education.



Our students develop reading and writing skills in Chinese and English.

Some subjects are taught in English and some in Chinese. For subjects taught in Chinese, PVCICS adapts and develops instructional resources that are either aligned with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks (MCFs) or are easily aligned to produce grade appropriate and linguistically accessible Chinese teaching materials. Where possible, curricular resources are adapted to support PVCICS’s cultural mission. Adaptation of English language curriculum for use in immersion programs is a strategy that has been successfully implemented in Chinese immersion programs.
