The Richmond Chinese School originated in the fall of 1973 from a modest class of seven students in Mrs. Judith Chu’s home. In February 1976, the school was officially established in the classrooms at St. Michael’s School. The twenty-eight students and four teachers adopted textbooks used in Taiwan to learn reading, writing, and speaking in Chinese. In addition to language classes, they also learned Chinese cultures such as Chinese traditional songs and dance.
You are welcome to sit in on the last 3 classes of the school year. We will be meeting April 28th, May 4th, and May 19th from 2:00 to 4:00 at 6100 Patterson Ave, in back of the West Hampton Methodist Church.
For the past forty years, the Richmond Chinese School has had an enormous impact on both the Chinese and non-Chinese communities in central Virginia for promoting diversity and educating those who were interested in learning the Chinese language and culture. The success of the school was made possible because of the dedication of those who served as board members, principals, teachers, and volunteers. We are looking forward to another forty years of providing great services to our communities.
