FOCUS ON EDUCATION: The Connecticut Chinese Language School (CLSC) Creates A Community In Westchester And Fairfield Counties
INNOVATIVE AND FUN PROGRAMS: The Chinese Language School Teaches Culture To Children And Adults
In May 2002, a group of parents decided to organize a new type of Chinese school for children of every background.
Their vision was to create a school that children looked forward to attending every week--where they could learn practical communication skills, develop a life-long appreciation for the Chinese language and culture, and build lasting friendships with their fellow students.
The Chinese Language School of Connecticut is committed to providing excellence in Chinese language instruction services.
Their mission is to create and offer educational programs that enable learners to discover and develop an appreciation for the evolving richness of the Chinese language and culture.

They seek to serve as a bridge between our students and clients and the larger Chinese learning community by offering their Chinese language and culture program, enrichment programs, tutoring services, homework support, corporate training and consultation services.
Housed at the University of Connecticut, the nonprofit school teaches students about Chinese culture and caters mostly to students whose families come from Chinese-speaking countries, but many non-Chinese students also attend.
The school teaches students about Chinese culture as well as Mandarin, the largest Chinese dialect.

Support 501C (3) Non-Profit comes from tuition, grants and donations from corporations.
Programs include weekday/weekend classes, weekday programs for schools, summer programs, private tutoring, and corporate programs.
For many Chinese in the area, the school is a gathering place where their culture is celebrated and shared, from Lunar New Year to a mid-autumn festival.
