- Shuang_Wen_Academy_Network abstract "The Shuang Wen Academy Network (SWAN) is a Mandarin Chinese after-school and summer program based in New York City. It is a 501-C3 nonprofit organization whose mission is the "development of proficiency in Mandarin Chinese, and a greater understanding of Chinese culture, so participants can become better global citizens in an increasingly competitive and demanding international environment."[citation needed]Since 1996, the program has operated P.S.184M's after-school and summer dual-language English-Chinese program. It serves over 500 students per year in kindergarten through eighth grade. In conjunction with the public school, SWAN earned a Federal Blue Ribbon Award, demonstrating program excellence as assessed by the No Child Left Behind Act. Over 70% of the students served by SWAN's programming came from economically disadvantaged families.As a case in education policy, SWAN and P.S.184M demonstrated that committed programming to dual-language learning highly influences basic reading and math scores. The following metrics demonstrate the impact of SWAN programming, until 2011, making PS184M one of the highest performing public schools in New York City:Statistics:Reading scores: 83.5%Math scores: 97.7%Enrollment: 683Attendance: 99%Free lunch: 78%Overcrowding: 64%Admissions: unzoned; priority to District 1Ethnicity %: 8 W | 5 B | 5 H | 80 ASWAN was founded by Jacob Wong, a retired principal and Chairperson of the New York Chinese Educators Committee, and other members of New York's Chinatown community.SWAN began its first after-school Chinese Immersion Program with a class of 40 students in 1998. Over the intervening years, SWAN has served the City of New York by creating one of its largest most academically enriching after-school and summer programs. SWAN now enrolls over 500 Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade students each year. SWAN's summer program provides students with a unique educational and cultural curriculum that includes Chinese language learning, English and Math studies, a variety of cultural activities, fieldtrips and recreational sports activities. Beginning in the summer of 2011, the SWAN summer program is open to any parents and children who are interested. By giving students the opportunity to learn the Chinese language, while at the same time enhancing their skills in academic subjects such as English and mathematics, SWAN is providing students with the tools to build personal and professional success, while fostering cross-cultural and understanding.".
