CLIP is an acronym that stands for: **C**upertino **L**anguage **I**mmersion **P**rogram
 * What is CLIP?**

CLIP is an alternative program in the Cupertino Union School District in Cupertino, California. The program educates children with the intent of making them Bi-Lingual and Bi-Literate in Mandarin Chinese and English.

CLIP was started in the 1998-1999 academic year with one kindergarten class. The "pioneer" class matriculated into high-school in the 2007-2008 school year. The perseverance, and hard work of the pioneer class' parents created a program from nothing that provides 60 kindergarten students, attending a public school, the opportunity to learn to speak and read 2 languages through 8th grade.

Reason for this Wiki
There are just too many issues surrounding CLIP that we wish to improve, but previously there was not a way to organize facts and thoughts. With Wikispaces, we are able to accurately state facts, and solidify opposing arguments as a community. Furthermore, with the ability to have anonymous edits and discussion postings, there is added freedom to state opinions without fear of retribution. This Wiki is community moderated, and all have the responsibility of maintaining accurate information. Please help to build up your CLIP-Corner Wiki so that we may better serve our children's continued growth in CLIP.
