East Bay Chinese School

East Bay Chinese School is proud to partner with Piedmont Language School(PLS) in offering in-person Mandarin classes. The PLS Mandarin 2 class is for students who have either completed PLS Mandarin 1 or an equivalent Mandarin program.

The tone of these classes is having fun with the language, and the goal is to instill a love of learning Mandarin, an accent and an ear, while building upon what has been learned in Mandarin 1. We utilize different levels of workbooks/textbooks depending on age while bringing lots of art & crafts and hands-on activities into these classrooms. There is 10-15 minutes of light, age-appropriate homework on a weekly basis to reinforce classroom learnings.

Classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:20-4:20pm at Piedmont Middle School(classroom tbd). Instructional calendar will follow the Piedmont Unified School District calendar and it's noted holidays and non-instruction days. Semester 1: September 5th - December 21st. Semester 2: January 9th - May 16th.

No classes will be held the week of Thanksgiving(week of November 20th), Winter Break(weeks of December 25th and January 1st), President's Week(week of February 19th), and Spring Break(week of April 8th).
