Southwest Florida Chinese School
The Southwest Florida Chinese School is a non-profit organization devoted to making instruction in Chinese language and culture available to all interested persons, regardless of age or race.
Instruction is available to adults, children and families.
The mission of the school is to promote understanding of and competence in Mandarin Chinese language and greater understanding of an appreciation for Chinese culture.
The Southwest Florida Chinese School's instruction centers on gaining competence in communicating in Chinese.
They concentrate on learning to speak, then on character recognition/reading, and lastly, writing. The School believes that this ranking order of skill areas is the most effective for their students.
All instruction at the Southwest Florida Chinese School uses simplified characters (the writing system used in China, Singapore, and increasingly, in other Chinese-speaking areas).
However, any student who wishes may purchase traditional character textbook materials and complete writing assignments in Traditional Chinese.
