Philadelphia Chinese Immersion Academy

We are very happy with PCA! Our son is enrolled in the preschool. We chose PCA because it is important to us that our son learn a second language and we feel that language immersion at an early age is the best way to accomplish this. We knew little about the Montessori curriculum but are very impressed with how hands-on it is. Since starting at PCA our son has become much more independent at home. He sings songs in Mandarin and is starting to use a few words at home . The teachers are wonderful and the preschool is warm, spacious and clean. I highly recommend PCA!

My daughter LOVES going to the Chinese school and is now speaking Chinese and singing Chinese songs at home. The space is inviting and the teacher has the skills and materials to engage students in learning through fun activities. Lessons feel like thematic learning and my child is learning Chinese without knowing that she is learning! When I pick her up, she does not want to leave. I am so glad that Chinese school like this exists.

My son has been going to this Chinese School for a year now. We originally picked it because of the location in center city. I really enjoy the classes, teachers, environment and parents in this program. My son wakes up on Saturday mornings looking forward to going to "Chinese school". The teachers are patient and encouraging kids to try their best. He always comes home learning at least 2-3 new words. I do feel it is a program that caters to native and non-native speakers which I appreciate. Seasonal events - like Halloween, Chinese New Year, Valentine's day... are really fun too.

Both of my children just started Chinese classes at the school and we've been thrilled. The teacher is wonderful, friendly, and patient. My daughter is a bit shy and she was immediately participating in all the activities. The learning is interactive - a lot of playing games, singing songs, etc. Their Chinese has really improved in a short period of time. And the classroom space is stunning.

We loved spending Saturday mornings with Ms. Peizhu and the 'Baby Pandas' class. Activities were age- appropriate and students seemed to retain information very well. We would definitely recommend this program.
