A language for the world. A discipline for life.
For more than forty years we have helped children build a real foundation in Chinese and the habits of diligent work — then put that focus to use in chess, math, science and robotics.

Chinese carries more than characters. It carries a way of regarding effort — that progress compounds, that attention is worth cultivating, that persistence outlasts raw talent. Children read and write here, and in our science and technology classes they turn that same patience into the ability to solve real problems.
As Chair of the Chinese Club of San Marino, it is my privilege to carry forward the purpose our organisation has held since it was founded in 1979: cultural exchange, educational excellence, and care for our community. In an era of many cultures living side by side, we work to be a bridge between communities and generations, so that understanding and respect become the language we all share.
Join us today and begin a wonderful journey into the Chinese language.
