West County Mandarin School: Enrollment Tours
West County Mandarin School is the first public Mandarin immersion and IB school in California. We will offer grades TK-8 in 2025-26.
The mission of WCMS is to educate the whole child with the 21st century skills to thrive in a globally connected world.
We are a WCCUSD school of choice, and enrollment is open to students within the WCCUSD school district (El Cerrito, Kensington, Richmond, Pinole, Hercules, El Sobrante, San Pablo). We also have inter-district transfer students. There is currently bus transportation available for a fee from the El Cerrito and Richmond Heights area to the school.
Our elementary campus (TK - 5) is located in Pinole. Our middle school campus (6 - 8) is located in El Sobrante. New middle school students can at any grade level, and Mandarin proficiency is not required.
Join us for an enrollment information session (see schedule below) at 6pm with our principal, Dr. Peterson, to learn more about our curriculum, vision, and community. There will be interpretation in Spanish and Mandarin available.
