The Confucius Institute at Maryland (CIM) promotes the understanding of China today through the study of Chinese language, culture, ethics, and philosophy.
Chinese Dragon Team

Lakeland STARs is an academic enrichment program that serves 1st - 6th grade children at Paint Branch Elementary School in College Park, Maryland. Children in the program are matched with a volunteer tutor in an one-on-one setting, and they meet each week on a designated day throughout the semester. Lakeland STARs has been part of the Scholars experience since February 1996, and tutoring with the Lakeland STARs program is a rewarding way for College Park Scholars to give back to the community.
PDS - Professional Development School
In collaboration with the University of Maryland School of Education, Paint Branch Elementary School became a Professional Development School (PDS) at the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year. Future teacher candidates intern with experienced teachers to practice, gain practical experience, and expand their knowledge and teaching methods.
