Chinese Center on Long Island School opened its door in 1967 to families on Long Island. Today, our school attracts families from Long Island as well as from New York City boroughs. The school is guided by Director Lydia Wong, Co-Principals Lotus Wu and Donna Chan, along with the administrative assistant Kelly Ng. The doors are opened early Sunday during the Fall and Spring for eager minds ready to learn.
Reading, writing, and conversation in both Mandarin and Cantonese languages are led by teachers David Yang, Sally Sun, Lotus Wu, and Tiffany He. They carefully guide their students in learning and practicing their skills through not only traditional methods but also with other various media including the computers and ipads in the classroom. The Computer Lab is used to enhance the students' learning experience. Chinese classes are offered to all ages. The youngest students are preschoolers in the Parent and Me class. A parent attends class with a preschool child to learn Mandarin. There are Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced classes for school age children, teens, and adults.
Our students are also provided with opportunities to do volunteer work in the school. They are often seen assisting teachers in the classrooms. At the Chinese School, it is not all work and no fun. Celebration and parties are held for students to develop an appreciation for the Chinese culture and language.
