Welcome to Ching Hua Chinese Language School
Ching Hua Chinese School has approximately 150 students and has been operating since 1980.
We meet Saturday mornings during the regular school year. Currently our program offers classes:
• JK – grade 8, Cantonese or Mandarin reading, writing and verbal skills,
• Extra interest classes held after language classes (lion dance, Chinese yo-yo, drawing, calligraphy)
• Basic Mandarin and/or Cantonese for adults (classes offered based on enrollment of a minimum of 6 students)
Ching Hua Chinese School is the only language school in Ottawa teaching both Simplified and Traditional writing in the same class. Our objective is to provide students the opportunity to maintain their heritage language and culture. This program is open to all children regardless of cultural or ethnic background. Students who wish to learn Chinese as a new language are more than welcome to join.
We revise our textbooks regularly and include traditional crafts and games to promote the Chinese culture. We offer a broad level of language skills within each classroom. Our teachers provide personal assistance to encourage learning at each family level.
Message from our Chairman
It is a pleasure to welcome you to our new website. For 30 years, Ching Hua Chinese Language School has been welcoming children in our community to learn more about the Chinese culture and language. Our mission is to encourage our children to learn more about the Chinese culture and tradition; in a friendly and safe environment.
We have created this website to increase awareness of the Chinese Language School, in our community, and to be able to increase enrollment. By keeping a good number of participants, we will be able to continue running our language program with the support of the Ottawa Catholic School Board Language Program.
Chinese language classes are designed for children from JK to grade 8. On a regular basis, our teachers revise the class materials as part of the evolution of the language program.
Our mandate is to work in collaboration with the OCSB Language Program and make sure that our children are safe and happy at their respective learning environment. We are also involved with the preparation and setting up for different activities, such as Christmas kids party with Santa, Chinese New Year celebration and end of school year celebration.
We hope that we can address every parents needs and concerns. We are open for discussion and new ideas to increase our children learning experience at Ching Hua Language School.
Sincerely yours,
Sau Lan Mo
