ABOUT US

Our Birth

The Barrington Chinese Immersion Council was founded in 2014 by a group of parents from the original cohort that started at Barbara Rose Elementary School in 2011. Over the years we had observed and then acted upon a need to advocate for our program on several fronts: In the classrooms and at cohort schools, at district board meetings and in our neighborhoods. Much like a traditional PTO/ PTA our intention is to support the students, teachers, administrators and parents that are a part of the immersion community. We also felt strongly that the larger Barrington community could greatly benefit from the cultural experiences this program offered, which is why some of our events are open to the entire community.
