CSGW Mission

Our Mission

The Cantonese School of Greater Washington (CSGW) is a school where teachers, parents, and children alike benefit from the exchange of ideas to build the school community.  It is not a traditional school where a governing entity hires staff to develop the programs and run the school.  Instead, parents and families are involved in all aspects of school operations. Our hope is that the parents are supportive of instilling the Cantonese Culture and Language at home while encouraging our families to put it into practice outside of the classroom.

Our Mission provides a progressive and nurturing academic environment for students wishing to learn Cantonese and experience Chinese culture.  Our immersion-based program, designed for students from ages 4 to 12, focuses on developing speaking, reading, and writing skills. Our goal is to graduate students who can converse comfortably in Cantonese, and have the ability to read and write traditional Chinese. 

辦校宗旨

粵語文化學校是集老師,家長和孩子們,彼此通過共同理念,交流思想而建立的一所學校。我們並不像一般傳統的學校,只是僱請員工議訂課程和管理校務;相反地,我們的學生家長和整個家庭都在參與學校各方面的運作。

我們寄望家長們秉承一個理念:就是在家中灌輸粵語文化和語言,同時鼓勵各人在課堂外積極實踐。

我們的使命是為希望學習廣東話和體驗中國文化的學生提供進步教學法和培養學術的環境。我們為四至十二歲的學生設計特別課程,專注於培訓口語,閲讀和寫作技巧。我們的目標是要讓彼等可以輕鬆地以廣東話,繼而有能力讀寫繁體中文的學生成功畢業。
