East Bay Chinese School

East Bay Chinese School is proud to partner with Piedmont Language School(PLS) in offering in-person Mandarin classes.

This class is designed for our young learners (TK to 1st grade) who come from a Mandarin-immersion background, for example a Mandarin-immersion preschool or speaking Mandarin consistently at home. This course will be taught all in Mandarin. 

Students will practice basic strokes, recognize simple vocabulary, and learn Chinese culture through storytelling, craft, songs, and games. 

Classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30-5:15pm at Piedmont Middle School (classroom TBD). 

Instructional calendar will follow the Piedmont Unified School District calendar and its noted holidays and non-instruction days. 

No classes will be held the week of Thanksgiving, Winter Break (12/19/25 - 1/12/26), President's Week, and Spring Break.

No classes will be held on when the elementary schools have minimum days for Open House and Back to School Night.
