About Northwest Chinese School (NWCS)
Founded in 1995, the Northwest Chinese School (NWCS) has established itself as one of the premier K-12 heritage Chinese schools in the nation. For nearly three decades, we have provided a comprehensive Chinese language and cultural education to our students. With a peak enrolment exceeding 1,000 students, NWCS stands as a testament to our commitment to excellence and community involvement.
NWCS operates as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, relying heavily on the support and dedication of parent-volunteers. Our signature offering is a series of weekly Saturday classes during the academic year, where students immerse themselves in the Chinese language and cultural enrichment activities. These classes aim to develop high levels of language proficiency, as demonstrated through achievements in Advanced Placement (AP) exams and the Seal of Biliteracy testing. In addition to our Saturday programs, we offer afterschool and summer Chinese programs, ensuring that students have continuous opportunities to deepen their language skills and cultural understanding.
NWCS is accredited by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools (NAAS), underscoring our commitment to high educational standards. Beyond language instruction, NWCS places a strong emphasis on imparting knowledge of Chinese traditions and culture. Our students not only learn to understand, speak, read, and write Chinese but also engage in a variety of cultural events and activities. These include celebrating the Moon Festival, Chinese New Year performing party, annual student exhibitions of calligraphy and art, and the end-of-year graduation ceremony. Ultimately, NWCS is more than just an educational institution—it is a vibrant community where students and families come together to celebrate and preserve Chinese heritage. We are proud to be a cornerstone of cultural education and a home for those passionate about the Chinese language and culture.
