It's a community thing. There are Korean and Japanese weekend schools in the area, too. The kids learn to read and write in our family's language. Parents and kids alike bond with friends in an otherwise lonely new homeland.

At Hope (Marshall HS on Sunday afternoons), most students are Chinese. There are families of other ethnic backgrounds, too. Robotics, math, reading and all courses other than the Chinese language are taught in English. You are welcome to take trial lessons at the beginning of a semester. The tuition is very competitive compared with other enrichment places.

What's the list of weekend Chinese schools available in Fairfax County? Ideally in simplified Chinese. I found Hope Chinese School, which has a few campuses: https://www.hopechineseschool.org/. Are there any others? What age do the classes start at?
