The Evergreen Chinese Academy was established in 2005 by Drs. Douglas and Belinda Louie. Dr. Douglas Louie received his medical degree and his doctorate in Psychology from the University of Washington. He is practicing medicine fulltime while serving as the founding pastor of the Chinese Christian Church of Tacoma. Dr. Belinda Louie obtained her doctorate in Education from the University of Washington. Currently she is a full professor at the Education Program at UW Tacoma. The Evergreen Chinese Academy has received provisional status to offer foreign language credits through the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools. The academy is also a member of the Chinese School Association in the United States.
The mission of the Evergreen Chinese Academy is to teach Chinese language, customs and culture in a nourishing environment to develop and enhance students’ Chinese proficiency and prepare them to meet the challenges of an intensely competitive global society. In addition, the Academy aims at promoting cross-cultural understanding, cultivating appreciation of Chinese heritage and culture through language classes as well as participation in local community events and activities. We strongly believe that a dynamic and relevant curriculum, delivered with innovative instructional strategies grounded in language acquisition research, will provide a strong framework for language learning to occur.
