Chinese Language Program Image
As China’s role in the world economy and politics grows, Chinese language, spoken by nearly 1/4 of the world population, is becoming increasingly popular. Knowledge of the Chinese language will help children become successful in the future. Our courses are designed for China’s official language – Mandarin. The pronunciation is based on the Beijing dialect, and the writing follows the simplified version used in China.
