About CAoC
Established in 1973, Chinese Academy of Cleveland, CAoC, is one of the oldest Chinese schools in metro Cleveland area. CAoC is a non-profit organization with 9 board members and various administrators including principal, vice principal, academic dean, curriculum dean, and treasure. Our mission is to promote Chinese culture and teaching Chinese language to our next generation.
Currently CAoC is located at Shaker Heights Middle School. Every year we have over 100 students enrolled in two different tracks: traditional and Chinese Second Language (CSL). We also offer CSL classes for adults as well as other cultural classes such as Chinese calligraphy, aerobic, etc. In order to enhance the interactions between students and teacher, each class has only 5 to 10 students. Over half of our faculty are state certified Chinese teachers. Our curriculum adopts both bpmf and Pinyin systems. Students have choices of learning either traditional or simplified characters. Our language classes are from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday mornings. Our goal is to foster an environment where not only are children building a strong foundation through speaking, listening, reading, and writing Chinese, but also truly enjoy learning!
