With close to 50 years of history, the Princeton Chinese Language School (PCLS) is a nonprofit institution whose primary mission is to provide a structured and nurturing environment for learning Chinese language and culture. Students from all backgrounds and ages are welcome. Established in 1970, at its inception, the school was affiliated with Princeton University’s Chinese Club, where classes were held on the campus. There were five teachers and twenty students at that time. Today, we have more than 270 students, 25 language teachers, and 19 culture instructors. We hold weekly classes at the Princeton Day School in Princeton, New Jersey. The curriculum includes both language classes and cultural activities. Students are assigned to language classes based on either their age or Chinese language proficiency, and to cultural activities according to their preferences. There are Chinese as Second Language (CSL) classes that are designed for students who do not speak Chinese at home. Learn more at www.pcls.org
