The Chinese Academy Admissions Office

My kid started junior kindergarten at the Chinese Academy two years ago. His Chinese has improved so much! From saying nothing in the classroom to being able to memorize a 2 minutes long speech, we are so happy of the progress he has made. The class is well designed and the teachers are very patient to each individual. Compared to the school my older kid used to go to, the Chinese Academy is absolutely better! Overtime, the amount of Chinese they learn will be hugely different. Also, the IB Chinese program is very good as well.

Was shopping around for Chinese schools for my kids and asked if I could drop by to see what one of their classes was like. Was told I was not allowed to without providing a reason. No other Chinese school in the city responded this way to me.

Unfortunately their method of learning is not fun or exciting. It is old school. Classrooms at time were very noisy and disrupted. Sad to not continue but they put more emphasis on kids that have already a background in Chinese by speaking, or writting which it is not fair if you have non of these at home.Only one teacher was good that motivation to attend was rewarding. However the constant change of teachers and lack of engagement lead to not continue.

My kid is in Grade 11. We are absolutely happy about the school because they do offer a wonderful education.They hire really good teachers who are passionate about teaching. you can email them with your questions and they are quick with their responses. The quality of teaching is really good. they always encourage the kids use Chinese at school and home.My kid has to miss school few times every school year due to various competitions. They are very patiently and help my kid to make up school work smoothly. Actually, my kid got an offer to teach English in China this summer, of course , Chinese language should be so much helpful! Hopefully it will help someone else looking for the same info in a timely manner.

Not the best Chinese School in Calgary in terms of quality of education but is still pretty good.

I was a student at The Chinese Academy from 2018-2021 as a Chinese Second Language learner through the IB program. As a student with no background or experience with learning Mandarin, I had an amazing time at TCA. Although I occasionally struggled while learning a completely new language, I had the constant support of my teachers and peers who encouraged me throughout my journey. The TCA is a great school that not only teaches language skills but practical life skills as well. I would highly recommend TCA to anyone considering learning the Chinese language or culture.

The Chinese Academy is a good, well structured Chinese language school that operates on the weekends. There is a morning session and a separate afternoon session. My son has been enrolled for the past 3 years and has been progressing pretty well. His teachers have been friendly and encouraging and my son enjoys attending. The staff work hard to make the school run and operate, and they keep parents informed.

The best Chinese schools, the teachers are very responsible, here you can learn the most standard Chinese and Cantonese, of course you can also learn English here, many teachers here will speak Cantonese, Mandarin, English.

Chinese school is a good school, with many kind teachers and good volunteers they helpd me a lot.

Strong academic school that is able to educate kids in their mother tongue or even non Chinese local born kids.My non Chinese classmate studied here and received credit for Chinese IB (International Baccalaureate), a testament to how good the program is.
