K-5 Chinese School
Chinese School Information
Our Chinese school is one of the earliest established in the Peninsula. We opened our doors in 2005 and have served over 1000 children. In addition to developing each child's Chinese fluency, we also focus on discipline and social-emotional development. Our students always come to teachers for support and advice.
Our priority is to guide and immerse students in the Chinese learning process to be interested in the Chinese language and culture. At Challenge School, teachers are passionate and professional. Our turnover rate is very low, and you see familiar faces year after year. As a result, children find consistency and belonging when they attend our school.
