Grand Rapids Chinese Language School was initially founded in 1997 by three passionate mothers from the Chinese community in West Michigan, aiming to meet the Chinese educational needs of children. After initial development, the school gradually grew into a non-profit organization dedicated to providing high-quality Chinese language and cultural education, allowing students of all ages and backgrounds to immerse themselves in learning. For over thirty years, we have strived to serve the Chinese community in West Michigan by offering traditional language courses and a variety of cultural education resources and activities.
