Crossing Borders International School & Camps

★★★★★Jennifer Lee

My son is in Ms. Jessica's Mandarin class and he absolutely loves going to school. He loves his teacher and classmates and comes home from school eager to tell stories about his day. Ms. Jessica is so affectionate and caring - you can tell she takes pride in being an educator. All the staff at CBIS are great. They always greet you with smiles and put together amazing activities for the kids. Highly recommend!

My kids started around 2.5 year old with no experience in Spanish or Mandarin. After a year of Spanish immersion class, I was very impressed by their growth. After a year, we transitioned to full Mandarin class with Ms. Jessica and my kids can hold daily conversations in Mandarin. All the staff members know my kids and my kids love going to school. I highly recommend Crossing Borders.

We have been part of Ms. Jessica’s Mandarin class since August 2023. My oldest daughter started first, and later my younger daughter continued in the program and is still enrolled today. Both of my girls truly love the school, especially the Mandarin class, where they have been exposed to structured and engaging instruction in both Mandarin and math. Every morning when I drop them off, I feel completely at ease knowing they are receiving attentive care and a strong educational foundation at Crossing Borders International School.

We initially chose Crossing Borders Preschool because we were looking for a language immersion program, but quickly realized how lucky we were to find so much more. From day one, it has been clear that this is a place where children are truly cared for and supported. The entire staff is amazing, they are attentive, and deeply invested in each child which creates a genuine sense of community. Our son is so eager to go to school each day, which speaks volumes. Our experience in Ms. Jessica’s Mandarin class has been incredibly ideal. She is an outstanding educator who goes above and beyond for her students. She engages them with patience and enthusiasm, teaches them new skills, and works hard to ensure they are learning with structure while also having fun. The Mandarin immersion is seamlessly integrated into daily activities, making learning feel natural and exciting . We’ve seen incredible growth in our son’s confidence, development, and language skills, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience at Crossing Borders. We can only hope that every future educational experience lives up to this standard.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Crossing Borders Rice Village and recommend it to any parents I talk to. I have one kid that graduated from CB and another that is soon graduating. I enrolled at CB for their Mandarin Immersion program and I am glad I did. Miss Jessica has been their teacher and she is amazing!! She is very structured and that has done wonders for my kids. They thrive under her education and I am so happy. She is truly a children's whisperer and has an incredible ability to connect with my kids, make them feel comfortable while keeping them in line, and bring out the best in them. My oldest enjoys re-visiting at pick-up. I never worry about my kids when I drop them off at CB. The other staff, admin and security are also wonderful. They are so inviting at drop-off and pick-up and I enjoy all the activities and events they have throughout the year. We have been there for about three years and I am amazed and happy about how little turnover I've seen. I will be sad to say goodbye when my youngest graduates but I will continually recommend CB, especially the mandarin class and Miss Jessica, no question about it! Thank you CB for all you do!! They are also great about posting pictures and updates of our little ones throughout the day. I appreciate it!
