About Us
More than forty years of teaching, sustained by people who believe culture is what connects one generation to the next.
Our mission
The Chinese School of San Marino has more than forty years of history and has been accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, giving our teaching standards and student achievement formal recognition in the United States. Because the school holds WASC accreditation, credits earned in our high-school and AP Chinese courses are accepted by accredited high schools.
Since 1979 the Chinese Club of San Marino has held to its founding purpose: building a bridge between cultures, so that people of every generation can connect and grow together here.

WASC accreditation
At its Spring 2024 Commission Meeting, the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS WASC) determined that the Chinese School of San Marino (grades 9–12) meets the ACS WASC criteria for accreditation, and granted six-year accreditation status through June 30, 2030.
The school will submit a mid-cycle progress report in the 2026–2027 school year as we continue to strengthen teaching quality and student achievement.
