The Washington School of Chinese Language and Culture (WSCLC) was founded in 1986 by five Montgomery County families. The goal of WSCLC is to provide an innovative learning environment that emphasizes the Chinese culture as well as the language for Chinese American students. We hope our students will grow to be better citizens of this diversified society and to create mutual understanding and bond between Chinese Americans and other ethnic groups.
WSCLC has grown from 120 students in nine classes to over three hundred students in twenty-two classes. Our student body has an age range between three and eighteen and assembles over three hundred families around the Montgomery County area. Our classes are held from 2:00 to 4:30 pm and consist of three periods:
1st period - Chinese language
2nd period - Chinese language and culture
3rd period - Hands-on activities that include Chinese calligraphy, Chinese chess, Chinese yo-yo, Chinese go, folk arts and crafts, folk dance, Chinese martial arts and others.
WSCLC also provides a variety of extra-curriculum activities before and after class for both students and parents.
