St. Monica Mandarin Program
Mei Jia Chinese Learning Center is a multi-faceted Mandarin language and Chinese cultural learning center. We offer before and after school Mandarin programs, summer camp, and weekend programs for K-8th graders at different ages and levels. We maintain a very low teacher-to-student ratio so that each student will have individualized instruction. Many students in our program have passed the AP Chinese Exam, continued Mandarin as a language subject in college, and won many awards in Chinese calligraphy and poetry contests, such as the Chinese Bridge Cup Recital and Calligraphy Contests, and CLTAC (Chinese Language Teachers Association of California) Mandarin Speech Contests, etc
Here are some videos of Mandarin programs for your viewing.
