About Beibei Amigos Our Philosophy, Mission, and Story
Nurturing global citizens through Mandarin and Spanish immersion education in North Phoenix.
Founded by Sean Michael Diana, a former elementary teacher, Beibei Amigos began with a deeply personal mission: he started the school for his own son. Sean believes that if our children can speak the world's three most spoken languages—English, Spanish, and Mandarin—they will have the keys to unlock any career in the future. What started as a father's passion project has grown into North Phoenix's premier trilingual immersion school, blending the academic rigor of Montessori with the joy of cultural discovery.

"We love BeiBei School! Both of my boys go here."
"My son was in the traditional preschool class… lit up daily when he saw his teachers."
"BeiBei Amigos is truly a gem! The multi-language immersion program is so exciting."
