Pretoria Chinese School

Welcome to the Pretoria Chinese School where you will be given a golden opportunity to learn one of the oldest languages in the world.The spoken word is called Mandarin, which is the universally accepted dialect because it is spoken by the majority of the people in China as well as by many people in eastern countries. It is also widely used all over the world capitals. Although there are many dialects, the written word is the same.The school was set up initially to serve the Chinese community which now includes the greater learner community that has embraced its ethos. The ethos is built around the Chinese culture and language with emphasis on respect, humility and discipline which stands out as pillars of the school.As an added bonus, Neurologists observe that pictogram script used by the Chinese integrates the left and right hemisphere of the brain, which accelerates learning.Since Chinese influence in world trade is expected to grow rapidly in the future, there will be enormous job opportunities for those people who have an indigenous upbringing, together with a good grasp of the Chinese language and understanding of the culture. Education at our school will add another dimension to their life.The school strives to operate as an efficient community school. It is therefore important that we keep costs down but at the same time be careful not to sacrifice quality for cost. Its goals as non profit organisations is to provide the best value for money, holistic education within the ambit of our mission statement. We thank you for choosing the Pretoria Chinese School for you children and we wish you Good Luck!
