[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, how do you like the Cantonese School of Greater Washington? It is open for enrollment this fall? [/quote]

Yes, open for enrollment and not expensive, see their website.  Going into our 4th year and love it. Parent run but uses lovely MoCo ES. Kids (around 60, ages 3-12) are all over the map with language, but teachers differentiate well. Kids range from those speaking only Chinese at home with NIH researcher parents from HK to 3rd generation who picked up a few phrases from Ma-Ma and Ye-Ye. Welcoming of any parent teaching kids Cantonese and culture, including non-Chinese with Cantonese-speaking partners.  Resources are limited by board is well run and holiday festivities well attended by extended families. Families come from MoCo, DC and VA. Kids transition to Mandarin from age 10 and adults can take conversational Cantonese or tai chi while kids are in class. Strong teachers (including from YY moonlighting), progressive methods, homework. My kids love Chinese art and Wushu classes after regular classes. You'd be very welcome.  [/quote]

Thanks! I checked it out and got the registration info. Do you mean before age 10 only Cantonese is taught and after age 10 only Mandarin? Do the classes focus more on conversational Cantonese skill or writing/reading in traditional Chinese? Are the kids grouped by Cantonese level or age? Average size of the class? Sorry for all the inquires. There is not enough info on the website.  I've emailed the school but would also like to hear from parents.[/quote]
