Menlo Chinese School
In Action!
Introducing the Chinese language to young learners in a way that keeps them motivated and engaged is our mission here at Menlo Chinese School. We believe that the most effective way to help our students begin their exploration of Mandarin is by using small-group teaching methods. In this way, we can ensure we always give personal attention to each of our students. With our carefully designed curriculum, we help our young students on their learning journey with a wide variety of imaginative and engaging activities in a Chinese immersion environment.
About Menlo Chinese School
In the past, I have had the opportunity to create and run many exciting educational programs including the after-school program in Menlo Park. While it has been a real joy and honor to have laughed with our students and to watch them grow and learn, I have heard many families voice concerns around the struggle to find developmentally appropriate programs for their children. Through my conversations with these families, I began to see that there is still room for high-quality Chinese language instruction in the Bay Area, especially in the Menlo Park-Atherton area.
After having met and worked with many families, I came to better understand and appreciate their needs and goals for their children. These conversations made me even more excited and passionate about Chinese language education and helped me to recognize the potential for a thriving Chinese learning community here.
It is because of the deep sense of responsibility that I feel to our students and families that I have founded Menlo Chinese School as natural progression of the previous programs established in the area. An educational space in which students can learn at their own pace with fun and inspiring projects, Menlo Chinese School strives to develop in young learners a passion for learning and the confidence they will need as they move forward in their academic lives.
Welcome to the Menlo Chinese School! I am looking forward to starting a new journey with you.
