This summer camp immerses children in the legendary story of Nezha through interactive storytelling, creative crafts, and hands-on activities. Guided by the school mascot, “Little Mandarin,” children will explore themes of friendship, emotions, bravery, and resilience while learning key Mandarin words and phrases. Through arts, experiments, and movement-based exercises, they will connect with Nezha’s journey and reflect on their own strengths. Excursions further enrich the experience, making learning both engaging and memorable.

Best teachers
I highly recommend LittleMandarin Chinese school! The teachers are excellent to a point that Chinese has become the favorite subject of our 10 years old daughter. She absolutely loves it: the language, the Chinese culture, her teacher! – N. A. B.
