As the oldest Chinese school in San Diego, the Chinese School of San Diego aims to provide a well rounded program of studies of the Chinese language and its culture. Throughout the program, emphasis is placed upon the development of fluency in Chinese listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation.

These are developed with a broad, activity based approach. Students at CSSD develop a keen understanding of and appreciation of China, its language, history, culture, festivals, and traditions.

Our school is fully accredited by the San Diego Unified School District. We teach both Mandarin and Cantonese. Mandarin is the official Chinese dialect of more than 1.3 billion people in China & 28 million in Taiwan. Cantonese is the principal dialect used by 54 million Chinese in Hong Kong, Macau and South East Asia. We teach various ages and all levels: for Preschoolers, Youths, and Adults, providing Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced level classes.

As a non-profit organization, we take our mission seriously to foster our student’s life-long love of learning. We encourage the growth of the whole person and work with our students to help them grow into ethical, compassionate, and responsible members of the local and global community.

We prepare them to respect the views of others, beliefs, cultures, with concern to make a difference in the world. As part of our cultural enrichment, we also have fieldtrips to museums, Chinese bookstores, and community events.
