CSC is an Ohio-based educational organization that offers distance, individual and classroom Mandarin language instruction, as well as business, educational and cultural consulting services. Our focus is developing speaking, listening, reading and writing skills for learners of all ages and levels. Columbus School of Chinese was founded in 2010 to help non-native learners excel in Mandarin Chinese. CSC provides program development, oversight and teacher training for Chinese language programs throughout the Midwest. Through our task-based learning method, students have unlimited opportunities to use Chinese with native and near-native language professionals, and with each other. The curriculum and texts used in and out of class require students to perform tasks in Chinese. Through their own performance, and with guidance from experts in Chinese language acquisition, students will acquire the tools necessary to become successful in their Chinese-related endeavors, whether they be academic, business related, or purely personal enjoyment. Our mission can only be achieved by recognizing the needs of our learners. We succeed when our students succeed.
