About the Program
Irvine Chinese School was well-established in 1976 as a heritage language school and has been accredited by WASC since 2015. The South Coast Chinese Cultural Center opened its door in 2005 and is now the largest on the West Coast. Irvine Chinese Preschool started its licensing program for children in 2021. We are very excited to expand our educational and cultural service through the new Chinese immersion program.
Irvine Chinese Immersion School is committed to nurture the young heart and mind in a joyful learning environment and to empower students become critical thinkers, problem solvers, strong communicators, and lifelong learners. Through best practice of full immersion, small class size, differentiated instruction and engaging curriculum, students reach their full academic potential and become caring, multilingual, and culturally literate citizens in a global economy.
