ABOUT JIA HUA

Jia Hua School of Montreal, which was founded in February, 1994, is a Chinese community weekend school, duly registered as a non-profit organization and was designated by the Chinese highest authority concerned as a model school for teaching Chinese, one of the only five in Canada. Operating on Saturdays only, the school carries a mission to promote the interest, the knowledge and the understanding of Chinese culture, to strengthen academic learning, and to help students build a solid foundation to develop themselves in an all-around way, morally, intellectually, physically and aesthetically. Although the goal of the school when it was firstly established is to serve the Chinese community, teaching younger generation Chinese language skills, it is open to the whole society, welcoming anyone who or whose children may be interested in learning Chinese as well as Chinese culture and arts. Jia Hua School offers a whole range of Chinese courses for all age groups, as young as 5 years old up to senior level. The school operates “Two Tier” Chinese teaching systems, one for Mandarin Chinese speaking children, the other one for those who don’t speak Mandarin Chinese at home, not including 5 levels of Chinese learning for adults. Over the years, Jia Hua School of Montreal has developed from a tiny operation of just a few classes into one of the largest Chinese schools in North America with more than 1000 students and 100 teachers and staff. Situated at the beautiful campus of Dawson College downtown Montreal, Jia Hua School is not only conveniently located, but also enjoys tremendous reputation as the best place among community schools to learn Mandarin Chinese and other related subjects. We believe our success is wholly due to the dedication of our teaching staff, the support of the parents and the Chinese community as well as effective management of our school administrative team.

Registration

Although new school year starts each September, registration time does take place much earlier than that, not just before. Each year, registration runs from mid-April to mid-May, the last day of the school year, usually for 5 weeks running. We do this simply for the purpose of ensuring better planning and preparation for the next school year. Student enrolment, course design and teachers assignment are a long, tedious and sometimes very complicated work. Early registration means students are able to go to their classes on the very first hour and the very first day without delay and confusion. We do encourage students and parents to register at the ending of the current school year, NOT at the beginning of each new school year. We do not guarantee placement and choices of time period for late comers.
