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 4 and more.

The PLS Mandarin 4 class is for advanced learners and will begin preparing students who endeavor to enroll in Mandarin in 7th or 8th grade at Piedmont Middle School.

In this level, students will be able to read short paragraphs, know the stroke order for characters, and have more advanced conversations in Mandarin.

The Mandarin 4 teacher will base some lessons off of materials in the Mandarin textbook used at PMS. 

30 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.
