Chinese Class for Adoptees

The Chinese Class for Adoptees is offered by Wholistic Education (https://www.holisticedu.us) and sponsored by Village of the Stars (VoS). Classes are conducted online, typically once a week, with each session lasting about one hour.

Program Details:

1. Dedicated Volunteer Teachers – Our instructors are not only professionals in Chinese language education but also have a deep commitment to supporting adoptees and children with special needs.

2. Tailored Curriculum – Teaching materials are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of adoptees.

3. Class Levels & Schedule – Two levels are available:

   Level 1 (Beginners) – No prerequisites required.

   Level 2 – Students typically transition from Level 1 with mutual agreement between the teacher and student.

   Class Times:

   Level 1: Wednesdays, 8:00–9:00 PM EST

   Level 2: Thursdays, 7:30–8:30 PM EST

4. Tuition & Financial Support – The annual tuition for approximately 28 sessions is $300 per student. VoS covers half the cost, so families are responsible for $150. Additional financial assistance may be available for families facing hardship.
