Shuang Wen School incorporates a dual language and dual culture approach with parental involvement and community support to prepare its students to attain the highest standard in an increasingly global society.

Shuang Wen School provides in a public school setting language and cultural literacy in both Mandarin Chinese and English. The school is based on the premise that linguistic and cultural literacy in both Chinese and English provide its students with a solid education and a multicultural base for successful personal and professional development. The total commitment to dual language and cultural competency by the Shuang Wen School community results in the students learning strategies to work toward an effective integration of the two cultures to help students develop into honest dedicated respectful supportive independent hardworking and caring world citizens. Parental involvement is a crucial component to the schools success and is instrumental in helping them master the more rigorous course of required study.

The schools guiding principle is that learning two languages and becoming comfortable with two cultures that emphasize respect hard work honesty and dedication among others among others provide an enriching transforming and empowering education.
