During the academic year, Rockville Chinese School offers classes on Sunday mornings, 10am – 12:30pm. There are two semesters in a school year, with sixteen weeks in each semester. Fall semester usually begins after Labor Day weekend, while Spring semester begins in late January or early February.
Language classes are taught by experienced instructors that are native mandarin speakers. Students can start as early as preschool (4 years old) and continue through 12th grade. Classes are available for students who speak mandarin and non-mandarin at home.
