Students craving a lesson in culture need to look no further than Bard Early College High School, the only school in Newark that offers Chinese language classes.
The hour-long class, taught by John Weinstein, instructs Bard freshmen on the nuances of Mandarin, a dialect of Chinese typically spoken in the northern part of the country. It also offers teenagers an invaluable lesson in culture.
