Chinese Afterschool Program

Our Chinese Afterschool Program extends our Educational Philosophy, providing children a nurturing and engaging environment to enhance their Chinese abilities in speaking, listening, writing, and reading. Through our thoughtfully curated curriculum, aligned with our structured Mandarin Immersion Curriculum and sourced from reputable materials like "Meizhou Chinese (美洲华语)," and Singaporean Math, our teachers personalize instruction to suit the proficiency and capabilities of each student. Our program includes Chinese language classes, indoor and outdoor interactive playtime, and enrichment classes for a supplementary fee. We may provide transportation services to schools in Albany and El Cerrito, depending on vehicle and driver availability.
