您好！欢迎您光临高园中学高中部的中文网页，我是缪老师，这是我在本校执教中文的第十二年。中文课程在高园中学已经有三十多年的历史，在历任中文老师的苦心经营之下拥有丰硕的教学成果，并且桃李满天下。我们一共提供六级的非沉浸班中文外语课程，并且本校从两年前开始新增了沉浸式中文教学课程。中文四以上和沉浸班十一年级等高年级的学生可以参加国际文凭中文项目的考试，也可以选修由明尼苏达大学提供的大学中文选修学分。

Nihao! Welcome to my webpage. I was born and raised in Taiwan and came to the U.S. in late 1980s. I began teaching Chinese at a Saturday school in 1990. I obtained a Master of Education degree in Second Language and Cultural Education from the University of Minnesota.

Highland Park Senior High School is an IB/MYP school.  We offer six levels of Chinese at Highland Park. Levels I and II are MYP classes, while levels III-VI are DP classes. We started our Chinese immersion program two years ago.  This year we offer three Chinese Immersion language arts classes, Chinese Immersion 9, Chinese Immersion 10 and Chinese Immersion 11.  This year I also offer three College in the Schools courses from the University of Minnesota to higher level Chinese students, CHN1011, CHN1012 and CHN3021.  I have enjoyed my time at Highland Park.  It is an honor to be able to invest my life towards my students' and watch them grow socially, intellectually and academically.

In the spring of 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017 I took my students to China and we visited Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Guangxi.  We enjoyed our trips very much and look forward to our next trip in 2019.  We will be visiting Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou for our 2019 China trip.
