Hutong School's Mission Statement

Through our programs, we aim to enhance our student's understanding and knowledge about Chinese language and culture. We attach great importance to the quality of our Chinese classes and internships, enabling students to acquire both linguistic and professional knowledge about China. Hutong School's unique teaching method which separates spoken Chinese and character recognition, has been proven to expedite Chinese language learning. While progressing quicker in spoken Chinese, students also lay better foundations for character memorization by understanding the logic of Chinese characters' construction.
