Our after-school program offers a comprehensive, all-included experience that supports academic, cultural, and creative development in a structured and nurturing Chinese immersion environment.

Families may choose 3 to 5 days per week, with monthly tuition covering all classes, activities, and snacks.

Each afternoon includes:

• Daily one-hour Chinese language class that are project-based

• Specialist-led enrichment classes, taught in Chinese, including:

  • STEM, robotics, and coding

  • Chinese calligraphy and brush painting

  • Visual art with different media

  • Chinese cooking

  • Singapore math

All components are designed to support whole-child development and language acquisition through joyful, hands-on experiences. Enrollment is a thoughtful and personalized process. We are committed to building a supportive, close-knit community where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to grow.

Our admissions process is a mutual exploration — just as we take time to get to know your child, we welcome you to discover the heart of our program, values, and learning environment.

Please add to the waitlist first. When we see a spot available to your family, we will email you to invite your family to visit at your earliest convenience! During our interview and tour, families and staff have the opportunity to connect, ask questions, and determine together whether our program is the right fit for your child’s learning journey.
