Notes: Elementary school students in the Cape district will learn Chinese beginning in September 2007. Cape's Lighthouse Chinese Program is the first such public school program in Delaware and one of a small but growing number in the United States. Cape's program is especially unique because it is offered to all elementary school students in the District, not to just a select few. Students will learn about the most enduring civilization in the world as they learn the most widely spoken language in the world! Visit us at www.capehenlopenschools.com.
