Our Sister School in Beijing
The purpose of this page is to share the excitement felt by the school community for the annual exchange of visits between teachers from Saint Mark's and our sister school, Beijing No. 2 Experimental Primary School. This program is part of the focus on global education to which Saint Mark's is committed.
Welcome, Ms. Ma!
A Welcome Assembly on Friday, October 3, 2008 began our visit with Ms. Lili Ma (Ma Li Ying).
Our guest is the head Chinese language teacher on the main campus of the Beijing Experimental Primary School (grades 3-6).
In the Spring of 2009, Kindergarten teacher Ronnie Feldman inaugurated the exchange program when Saint Mark's sponsored her visit to the Beijing Experimental Primary School #2. Fourth-grade teacher Donna Young visited China this spring.
