We have regular classes, after school classes and camps to choose from. Check them out! Note, due to our 100% Mandarin environment, the minimum requirement for a child’s Chinese proficiency level is stage 2 in the following language proficiency chart right now. We reserve the right to make an enrollment decision based on Chinese language assessment results, and to implement a trial period if necessary.
Every child is different. This time fame is based on a child with average language learning abilities, not delayed nor advanced. In addition, it can only happen if a child can attend our program continuously, without noticeable interruptions longer than two days at a time, max twice a semester (summer is considered a semester).
