At the Irvine Chinese Immersion Academy, our performing arts program serves as a bridge connecting language, culture, and personal expression. We believe that music and theater are powerful mediums for fostering bilingual proficiency, cultural awareness, and socio-emotional growth in our students.

Vision
Our program aspires to be a dynamic, inclusive, and culturally rich environment where students experience language in action. Through performances, music, and theater, we encourage students to use both English and Mandarin in creative, impactful ways, establishing a new benchmark for bilingual education in the arts.

Mission
We are committed to an innovative performing arts education that seamlessly integrates language learning with artistic expression. Students participate in bilingual performances, create original plays, and explore musicals, building a unique appreciation for diverse cultures. This hands-on approach allows them to develop essential communication skills, collaborate with peers, and grow in confidence. Our mission is to inspire every child to enjoy and explore the arts, empowering them academically, socially, and emotionally.
