mandarin offerings in the lamorinda area
i am pondering a move east of the caldecott tunnel for the public schools and was wondering what the mandarin options are out there for elementary school and up?
do schools offer it as a lesson in elem school? an elective in high school? or just private saturday schools and tutors?
thank you.

Acalanes, Campolindo, and Miramonte all offer Mandarin - see the AUHSD (the school district that covers the 3 public high schools in Lamorinda plus Las Lomas in Walnut Creek) course catalog here: http://www.acalanes.k12.ca.us/coursecatalog
For middle school, it looks like Stanley in Lafayette and JM in Moraga offer it:

OIS's offerings (which don't include Mandarin): https://ois-orinda-ca.schoolloop.com/cms/page_view?d=x&piid=&vpid=13518…
As far as I know, none of the elementary schools offer it but that that may have changed - you can check with the respective school districts.
Orinda Mandarin offers classes after school for elementary students and before school at the middle school. Miramonte High offers Mandarin through AP level.
