The New York Chinese School is a non-profit 501 school located in Chinatown, New York City, that was established in 1909 for overseas Chinese children. The school is housed in the same building as the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association . It has become so synonymous for students to say they attend Chinese school at 中華公所 instead of 紐約華僑學校.It initially opened with 20 students. Today, there are more than 3,000 students in grade levels ranging from kindergarten to high school and it has a faculty of approximately 50 people.There are weekday after-school classes from 3:30pm to 6:30pm as well as the more popular weekend morning and afternoon classes, held Saturday or Sundays from 10-1pm, or 2-5pm. Both Cantonese and Mandarin language classes are available. Historically, the majority of classes, especially upper level classes, were taught in Cantonese, but recently Mandarin classes have outnumbered Cantonese classes by a 3:1 ratio and students studying Mandarin have outnumbered those studying Cantonese. All classes are taught traditional Chinese writing .Music and art classes have been taught for many years and continue to this day. Additionally, the school has a summer camp. Recently, adult mandarin classes have opened up.External linksOfficial website
