长岛华夏中文学校是华夏中文学校在长岛的分校，于2000年9月正式招生开学。长岛华夏中文学校是在纽约州注册的非盈利性机构，完全由学生家长利用业余时间，无报酬地运作和管理。我们的办学宗旨是“By the parents, for the parents”。因此，学校非常欢迎有更多的家长加入义工的行列，为学校的管理和发展献计献力。
长岛华夏中文学校每学年设春季和秋季两个学期，每学期含15周。每学年一般在美国劳工节(Labor Day)之后的第一个星期天开学，具体开学日期请见“学期校历”，学校上课时间为每周日下午1:30－4:30。
希望能在长岛华夏中文学校见到您！
长岛华夏中文学校已跨过二十二个年头，从当初十余同学，几户人家，到如今四百余学生，四百多户家庭，我们为纽约大长岛地区(包括纽约皇后,布鲁克林,长岛二郡)提供一个学习中国文字，继承和光大中华优秀文化传统的平台。
学校设有从学前班到十年级的中文课程，还为低年级学生开设具有华夏特色的琴棋书画，诗歌朗诵，音乐舞蹈，少儿武术等文化课。学校高年级的中文辩论队囊括了去年华夏总校北部地区个人和团体一等奖。每年我们联合华夏总部和二十二所分校，共同培训老师，交流教学经验。 为方便不说国语的家庭，今年学校还特设个别辅导的小小班，尝试新教育法，希望能吸引更多的族裔。
我们致力于把学校拓展成社区的文化活动中心。 学校有家长合唱团，声乐歌舞，太极气功，球类棋牌。学校家长篮球队二获华夏篮球锦标赛冠军，足球队连续两年华夏杯亚军。夏日，我们有数十户家庭的野营篝火和集体游轮；冬天，我们有超百人的滑雪团队和棋牌大战.。我们是快乐的团体，一个令人自豪的团体。
欢迎您加入我们学校的行列，成为我们团体的一员。
Long Island School of Chinese (LISOC), a branch of Huaxia Chinese School on Long Island, was established in September 2000. The purpose of the school is to promote multiculturalism by teaching the Chinese language (Mandarin, Pin Yin & simplified Chinese) and culture to children and adults, regardless of age, sex, color, religion, national origin or creed.
There are two semesters (15 weeks in each) in one academic year when classes are held on Sundays between 1:30-4:30pm. An academic year typically starts on the first Sunday after Labor Day. Please visit the Calendar page for specific dates. LISOC has reasonable tuition rates.
Teachers at LISOC are carefully selected from a large pool of applicants. They are competent in teaching and caring for the students. In addition, our school adopts Standard Chinese as the textbook. Standard Chinese consisting of 9 volumes, are prepared by the Institute of Chinese Textbooks and published by the well-known People’s Education Press specifically for children who would like to learn Chinese in America and Canada. According to the feedback we received from students and teachers, they love the textbook because of its content and presentation.
LISOC is registered in the New York State as a non-for-profit organization. Our school is established and run “By the parents and for the parents”. Therefore, we invite more volunteers to join us so that LISOC will become bigger, better and stronger.
Hope to see you at LISOC. Meanwhile, please spread words about our school.
Long Island School of Chinese
The new school year brings us new challenges. We still follow the model of “studying totally, thinking thoroughly, planning carefully, and executing responsibly.” Long Island School of Chinese has grown from its original 14 students to today’s population of over 400. Many parents and volunteers have contributed selflessly to the school and made it possible for our school to be a top choice in the area. Our curriculum covers pre-K to 10th grade Chinese language classes. We also offer cultural classes to our lower grade students. Classes include drawing, origami, fencing, Chinese martial arts, Tae Kwan Do, and poem reading. We also have Tai Chi, Yoga, and Choir classes for adults. Weekly movies are another treat that we have for our parents. We have a pool of talent people and offer variety of activities. Our school has become a cultural center for people during the weekends, where people get together and where friendships have grown. Our program has attracted many people from near and far because of its uniqueness. It is my hope that with the help of the parents, teachers, and volunteers our school will continue to play a meaningful role in helping children learn the Chinese culture and language.
