The Spirit of Our Program

Our focus

• Traditional Chinese

• Progressive classroom environment

• Project-based learning and theme-based instruction

• Age-appropriate pace

  • It is not a race to advance

  • Designed to allow students to be at the same level for more than one year, if necessary, in order to master foundational skills

• A community service

  • Run by parents

  • Taught by instructors who care deeply about the quality and content of the program and the children’s classroom experience

Open to families with or without mandarin language heritage 

• Priority but not exclusive admission to families with mandarin heritage at home or prior Chinese studies 

• The program requires parental support

  • 2 hours per week of classroom time (net of break times)

  • Encouragement and diligence with homework and daily verbal practice

  • May require additional supplemental assistance
