It is a Chinese School that was founded in 1982 starting with 30 students.  The primary objective of the school is to teach the Mandarin language and Chinese culture.  The club encourages youth to participate in community service and 4-H activities.  Many of our parents volunteer to coordinate annual cultural programs, parties, and other school related functions.

Grade Levels:

Kindergarten thru 6th Grade   
Advanced 1 and 2 Classes   

The school currently has about 85 students members and encourages youths of diverse ethnic backgrounds to become members.  The staff consists of parents who volunteer as administrators and teachers.  Students may start at age 4 and adults are welcome too!

The school year lasts for 32 weeks from September to June of the following year.  Mandarin language classes are held Sunday mornings from 9:30 AM – 11:20 AM.

What about the cultural classes?

Chinese cultural classes are held immediately after the language classes from 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM.  Come join us for Chinese arts & crafts, Chinese music, chess, Chinese knotting, and folk dance.  For adults, the club offers tai chi and flower arrangement classes.
