    We are a well-established Chinese language school located in San Jose, California. Since our founding in 1998, we have been dedicated to providing diverse and enriching educational programs for students TK-8th. Our curriculum includes Traditional and Simplified Chinese, English, Math, and a variety of enrichment classes such as music, art, and kendo. We offer small-group, interactive instruction that integrates language development, logical thinking, and cultural literacy, helping children grow in a joyful and well-rounded learning environment. Families from San Jose, Cupertino, Saratoga, Sunnyvale, and nearby areas are warmly welcome to visit or contact us for more information!

    Happy childhood is a team that emphasizes education, a team whose mission is to intellectually excite and prepare the younger generations to come. We firmly believe that it is important to foster the growth and development of these students, and we know that as parents, you do too.

    2025 Summer Camp Registration

    From 6/9 to 8/1, each week students will have the opportunity to learn special Chinese cultural topics. The curriculum offered is deep and rich in content, allowing students to systematically progress and challenge themselves to the fullest potential. By challenging and educating our students, we hope to pass down the hard working mindset and determination that our culture has embodied for generations. We hope to teach the children to interact in the games and establish good relationships, along with enhancing their personal charisma. Click here for more details.
