Before School Enrichment (Mandarin, Spanish and More)

McCoppin offers the following enrichment programs before school. All classes provide financial aid for families who would benefit from this assistance.

Mandarin with Starship Chinese

The Starship Chinese School is a comprehensive language development program that enables children to speak, listen, read and write in Chinese. Their teaching motto is to let children learn voluntarily and actively. They have a team of dynamic, experienced, caring and patient teachers. Available to TK-5 grade students, 3 mornings a week, 8:25 - 9:25am. Contact Starship Chinese by email to sign up.

Spanish with Manos

Manos is a local Spanish and Art studio for kids based in the Outer Sunset, San Francisco. They strive to provide real-life, inquiry-based, art explorations while learning Spanish. They have adopted a program for McCoppin to bring that same ethos to build an after school Spanish program.  Manos creates a space where children can learn (Spanish) through experiences while fostering their curiosity and independence. For younger students, Manos features a heavy emphasis on oral comprehension – classes are conducted primarily in Spanish using songs, visuals, art, and skits to help students to listen and watch for sounds and language structures. Older students will learn grammar and focus on vocabulary as they build practical conversational skills. The program takes place in McCoppin’s Elementary premises.
