“Both our children have been studying Chinese at WenLin Chinese School since it opened. In a very short time, they’ve learned to read and write in Chinese and developed a strong interest in the language. The principal and teachers always pay close attention to each child’s learning and progress. We feel very lucky to have such a good Chinese school nearby.” — Parent of MPII-22 & MPII-23 class
