Chengzhu Mandarin Centre

Chengzhu Mandarin Centre takes the stress out of learning Chinese for students, and their parents! Our programmes seamlessly prepare children to excel in every aspect of their Chinese studies at school. We start young, introducing infants and toddlers to the natural rhythm and cadence of Mandarin through songs, nursery rhymes, puppetry and stories, progressing to complex oral, reading and writing tasks for upper primary students. Our tried and tested curriculum, innovative teaching approach, positive and energetic learning environment, and inspirational educators, empower students’ Chinese communication skills above and beyond the MOE requirements.

Inspirational language role models

Our dedicated teaching team is comprised of experienced educators, each one selected for their superior Standard Mandarin speaking skills, their creative and artistic talents, their lively warm personalities and their deep love of children. Adept at delivering programmes through EduDrama®, a unique approach to learning that combines drama and literacy activities with academic outcomes, our educators skilfully draw out the best in every child.

Stories are a favourite method for physicalising language. Unique to Chengzhu is our child-centric library, equipped with over 2000 carefully selected titles in Mandarin. Chengzhu’s educators bring language alive through interactive storytelling. We also encourage children to select books to share with family at home.

At Chengzhu Mandarin Centre, children build effective Chinese communication skills to carry them successfully through school and life. We invite you to join us on this exciting journey.

EARLY LEARNING PROGRAMMES

Building a strong language foundation as early as possible is key to helping your child master Mandarin. Our programmes for infants and toddlers facilitate learning in the most natural and nurturing ways. Very young children absorb language through joyful experiences, shared with a parent or caregiver. But if you feel your child is ready to ‘go it alone’, there is the option of PlayClub Independent – a dynamic Early Learning Programme that encourages more autonomous exploration.

• PlayNest (6 months – 18 months)
• PlayClub for Toddlers and Preschoolers (18 months – 3 years)
• PlayClub Independent (18 months – 3 years)

FOUNDATION YEARS PROGRAMMES

Chengzhu Mandarin Centre offers two programmes that prepare children for confident entry to primary school, principally focusing on speaking, listening, reading and writing competency. Our renowned Chinese Cultural Arts programme deepens language comprehension by introducing children to a variety of traditional Chinese art forms, such as calligraphy, bamboo dance and making dumplings. Hands-on experiential learning helps children remember vocabulary and phrases easily whilst placing language in context.

• Chinese Cultural Arts (N1 – K2)
• Language Learners (N1 – K2)

SCHOOL YEARS PROGRAMMES

As children progress through primary school the demands of the Chinese syllabus can be very challenging for many. Demonstrating competent Chinese literacy skills is important. Equally important however, students must assimilate techniques and strategies effortlessly to demonstrate truly proficient communication skills. We believe that enjoying the process is key. These School Years Programmes carry students smoothly through every aspect of language development, as they build up to their Chinese Leaving Examinations. But we also look beyond exams! Our aim is to ensure that students mature into fluent, imaginative and expressive speakers, readers and writers, and possess the most effective language abilities to support them through every aspect of life.

• Language Skills (P1 – P4)
• Creative Writing (P1 – P4)
• Mandarin Expressions (P5 – P6)
