About MANDO SCHOOL

At MANDO SCHOOL, we believe that learning Mandarin should be as fun and exciting as any grand adventure! Founded out of the realisation that Mandarin Chinese was missing from UK nurseries and primary schools, we set out on a mission to change that – in the most playful and imaginative way possible.

MANDO SCHOOL started with a simple idea: introduce Mandarin to young children through the magic of storytelling and play. We noticed that while other languages were being taught, Mandarin – one of the most spoken languages in the world – was hardly seen in nurseries and schools. We wanted to change this by creating an experience that kids would love, remember, and look forward to!

Since our journey began, MANDO SCHOOL has made a remarkable impact on children’s language learning. We’ve seen children’s confidence soar as they enthusiastically greet each other with “Ni Hao” and confidently use Mandarin words in playful settings. Parents and teachers alike have noted how easily children pick up new words through our engaging stories, songs, and games. Our unique approach of combining fun story-led adventures with physical movement has proven to be an incredibly effective way for young minds to learn a new language – all while having the time of their lives!

Effortless for Nurseries and Schools

We understand that nurseries and schools have a lot on their plates, which is why we’ve made partnering with MANDO SCHOOL as easy as possible. We take care of everything – from lesson planning to providing fully trained teachers who bring each story to life. Our team is dedicated, reliable, and passionate about creating a fun, educational experience for every child. With no additional workload for the schools, we’ve become the go-to choice for nurseries and primary schools looking to introduce Mandarin in a hassle-free way.

Nursery Classes

For our littlest learners, aged 2-5, we bring Mandarin to life with fun story-led adventures filled with excitement, twists, and challenges. Our stories are packed with movement, songs, and rhymes, making each class an energetic journey where children laugh, jump, and explore – all while learning Mandarin words and phrases. Our approach is playful and interactive, ensuring every child stays engaged and enjoys the magic of storytelling.

Primary School Classes

In primary schools, we tailor our approach for different age groups:

• Early Years & KS1: Children continue to learn Mandarin through fun story-led adventures and physical movement, just like in our nursery classes. The focus is on active participation, imagination, and lots of fun!
• KS2: As children grow, so does our approach! KS2 classes revolve around exciting themes, games, songs, and activities. We make sure learning Mandarin is always lively and engaging, using creative methods that inspire confidence and curiosity.

At MANDO SCHOOL, we don’t just teach Mandarin – we create unforgettable experiences that spark a love for language and culture. Our positive impact on children’s learning and our hassle-free partnership with nurseries and schools have made us a trusted name in Mandarin education.
