Testimonial: Last year, I enjoyed learning some basic Chinese alongside Indira. This year the takeaway seems to be more cultural for her. Personally, I found her retell of the Chinese Zodiac and the reasoning behind the moon-pie art quite fascinating! I can’t wait to hear more when I pick her up in the coming weeks! –Renee W.

Teacher Chai's Chinese Academy has been a wonderful after school activity for my son. He looks forward to Chinese Club each week and is always excited to share what he learned.
