Mandarin language classes offered in the 2023/24 school year

Chinese language classes with various levels are offered to school-age children, starting from the minimum age of 4 and half in September 2023. The Chinese classes are taught mainly in Mandarin Chinese. Therefore, the choice of a language class is based on the student’s Chinese level, the tutor’s tests/assessments, and feedback from parents/guardians.

We are also offering the Happy Chinese class to children of non-Chinese speaking backgrounds. The class is mainly taught in English and is tailored to their needs by using the purpose-designed teaching material. The aims are to get the student to be able to understand Chinese and speak Chinese. Once they can understand some basic Chinese, they can move to the Chinese language class in the next academic year.
