Grand Rapids Chinese Language School: Fostering Chinese Education and Culture in West Michigan
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.
Currently, Grand Rapids Chinese Language School's curriculum includes Chinese courses from pre-kindergarten to fifth grade, Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) courses, and adult Chinese classes. Additionally, we offer various interest classes such as traditional Chinese ink painting, martial arts, children's programming, and mathematics. Whether you are a beginner or have some Chinese foundation, Grand Rapids Chinese Language School warmly welcomes you to experience our classes. We offer two free trial classes, allowing you to personally experience our teaching quality and learning environment. We look forward to your joining us and embarking on a fulfilling and enjoyable Chinese learning journey!
In this increasingly interconnected world, we recognize the immense value of face-to-face learning. Especially in the West Michigan area, the advantages of in-person Chinese classes, which are a distinctive feature of Grand Rapids Chinese Language School, are irreplaceable. You will have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the language environment, make new friends, and build strong connections with our teachers and classmates. Grand Rapids Chinese Language School offers a wide range of Chinese language courses and cultural interest classes tailored to students' different levels and needs. We assess students' skills upon enrollment to ensure they are placed in the most suitable class for optimal learning outcomes.
