Columbus Chinese Language School (CCLS) is a non-profit organization founded in 1997 by visionary leaders and supportive parents to serve the community’s needs on learning Chinese language and culture. As a part of the Columbus Chinese Association (CCA) at Columbus Indiana, CCLS works closely with other branches of CCA to develop programs serving our members and community. Our Chinese school is open to the public, and provides a nurturing environment for those who want to learn the Chinese language and culture. Our staff members are all volunteers, and tuition fees go toward teaching supplies and transportation costs. We are grateful for all the donations and many volunteers’ efforts and dedications. CCLS is also a school for family, parents are encouraged to participate in school affairs and activities.
