The school was founded in 1989 with the mission to provide a superb learning environment in Chinese language and culture for the next generation of ethnic Chinese families and non-Chinese community's members in the Northern Virginia area. The NVCS offers Chinese language courses including Phonic & Pin-Yin for students ranging from pre-K (age 3 & up) to 12th grade that focus on leadership and public speaking training, NVCS also offer Chinese conversation classes to non-Chinese-speaking youth and adult.
Currently, classes are held at the George Mason High School, located at 7124 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, VA 22043. All students are enrolled in fourteen levels of Chinese language classes during the hours from 2:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. on Sundays from September to June. The NVCS is very proud to offer other elective cultural and athletic classes including Chinese folk dance, Tai-Chi, Karate/Kung-Fu, Drawing/Painting, Tennis, and Golf between the hours of 4:00 P.M. and 5:00 P.M.
In addition to the weekly classes, the NVCS regularly sponsors various events within the school and participates in social events in the Washington Metropolitan Chinese School Association (WMCSA) and local communities. NVCS regular social activities include our traditional Autumn Moon Festival & Picnic, Halloween Parade, Santa Visits NVCS, Chinese Lunar New Year Festival & Luncheon, and Mother's Day celebration. In terms of academic activities, the Chinese speech contest, the Chinese words contest, and the Teacher Day Celebration are three major events sponsored by the NVCS annually. Both the NVCS Chinese Folk Dance Team and Karate Team have been very popular and are routinely invited to perform in various community events with great appreciation from the hosts and audiences.
The NVCS strongly believes that the school can contribute significantly to the cultural diversity of the Washington Metropolitan area by implementing its mission through the effort of all volunteers with your support and sponsorship.
