Cary Chinese School (CCS) is a 501(C)3 nonprofit educational organization that aims to promote Chinese language literacy and to encourage cultural exchange/diversity within our community.
CCS offers two types of Chinese language programs-- The Chinese as a Heritage Language (CHL) program is designed for students who can speak fluent Chinese (Mandarin). The Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) program is geared toward students (both children and adults) whose spoken Chinese is at beginning or intermediate levels.
For the CHL program, CCS employs the popular Ma Liping methodology taught by highly-qualified teachers, many of whom hold advanced degrees in Chinese-language education. The CSL staff, meanwhile, boasts a wealth of experience in teaching non-native Chinese speakers. Throughout the school year, the CHL and CSL instructors actively participate in continuing-education training to enhance their didactic skills. Not surprisingly, our students have garnered first- and second-place awards in a number of regional and national Chinese essay competitions. As educators, the CCS administrators and teaching staff take tremendous pride in putting together top-notch Chinese language programs.
In addition to language classes, CCS also offers a line of Chinese cultural activity classes that include Chinese Painting, Chinese Dancing, Music, Go!, and Chess.
Our school hours are on Saturday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. The first language session runs from 9:00 to 11:00 am, followed by two hours of Chinese cultural activity classes. The afternoon language session, which parallels the morning session, goes from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. Students can choose either the morning or afternoon language session depending on their schedule.
All classes are conducted at Kingswood Elementary School, located at the heart of Cary. The Fall 2009 semester will start on Saturday, August 29, 2009.
