Association of Chinese Schools

Association of Chinese Schools was founded by Prof. Peter P.C. Chou and six schools in Philadelphia in 1974. The goals are to provide a forum for Chinese language and culture schools to share their common interests, to exchange views and ideas, to assist school activities, to improve the quality of teaching, to promote Chinese teaching into the mainstream American education system. The Association of Chinese Schools is a non-profit, non-political independent organization. The organization was founded with 6 member schools and has grown to 56 member schools. The Association is a member of the Consortium for Language Teaching & Learning from the University of Maryland's National Foreign Language Center.
