Mandarin Chinese Lessons for Kids & Adults in NYC

China Institute:
At China Institute located in Manhattan, New York City, we believe that a deeper understanding between the U.S. and China is critical to strengthening our global community in the 21st Century, and that proficiency in the Chinese language will facilitate a more nuanced dialogue between and among our citizens and leaders. This belief is the foundation for our adult and children language programs, directed both at language learning and also at ensuring that Mandarin language teachers have high quality training available to them so that they can inspire, engage, and educate their students with maximum effectiveness. China Institute is chartered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York as a school of continuing education.

Because of our position as a global leader in evaluating and understanding best practices in the teaching of Mandarin language, China Institute is in a unique position to employ in our classrooms what we are learning through research and teacher training. We design our classes in such a way that they embody the best practices in methodology and curriculum to enrich our professional development offerings for teachers in the hands-on practical setting of our classrooms.

Situated in the Upper East Side of Manhattan on East 65th Street, between Park and Lexington Avenue, China Institute is easily reached by public transportation.
