Is this an immersion program? Yes and No. Yes, the school curriculum can help students communicate in Chinese language fluently by the time students graduate from school. No, students who are Chinese second language learner will attend the class level base on their knowledge of Chinese language.
We are proud to say that students at Rockville Chinese School come from a diverse ethnic, racial, linguistic background. We have many adults and children enrolled who are from non-Chinese backgrounds. All you need is a curious mind & a desire to learn! Pinyin is a system using the letters of the English alphabet to represent the pronunciation of Chinese words. Pinyin is a tool to help students learn to speak Chinese. Many of our classes use Pinyin to help students learn Chinese pronunciation.
In level 1 school use RCS textbook and work book. School uses Chinese Made Easy for Kids series (traditional version) from level 2 to level 11. Assigned classroom textbooks, workbooks, audio files, and other materials will be available for purchase at the beginning of each semester.

Does school teach traditional or simplified characters?
Rockville Chinese School teaches traditional Chinese characters. We feel that traditional characters carry more of the Chinese history, culture, and essence of each word.

A new student will be evaluated by the registration office based on the several factors: age, previous mandarin learning experience, and mandarin speaking environment at home and in school. To enroll in preschool classes, children must be 4 years old when fall classes start. Four years old students typically start in Level 1 classes. Five years old students with no previous mandarin exposure typically start in Level 1 classes. Older students with no previous mandarin exposure will be placed in a class dependent on the comfort level and the language skill of the student.
