Pacific Rim International School (PRINTS) is an independent Montessori program serving children from infancy through high school with two campuses in San Mateo and Emeryville. The school delivers dual-immersion Montessori education with Mandarin-English, Japanese-English, and Spanish-English tracks, supported by AMI-trained guides at every level. This makes PRINTS one of the first Montessori programs to offer Mandarin, Japanese, and Spanish across the full age span. The Upper School is accredited by ACS WASC, reflecting ongoing program review. PRINTS traces its origins to 1989 in Berkeley as a Mandarin-English bilingual Montessori school, expanding to Emeryville in 1995 and San Mateo in 1997; a second Children's House opened there in 1999. The 2023 relocation brought a new San Mateo campus, and the school has evolved with programs such as Nido (2014) and a Spanish-English track (2021). Beyond academics, PRINTS offers art, language, dance, and music classes, with new offerings each year.
