East Bay Chinese School

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

Chinese Wonderland Book 3.

The PLS Mandarin 3 class is for more advanced learners and signifies a more academic chapter in language learning. The goal is “what can you do with the language that you learn”, and with this in mind, our focus is on learning more practical and functional Mandarin.

At this level, students will learn how to describe their feelings, how to solve problems, and what they do in their daily or weekly schedule. Students will practice reading short paragraphs without Pinyin. They will practice characters by following the stroke order. 

20-25 minutes of weekly homework is consistently assigned. 

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 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.
