Chinese School was founded by a group of Chinese parents in March
1997. It is currently housed in the Sylvania Campus,
Portland Community College. It is open on Saturdays.
More than 100 students from the Portland Metropolitan area are at
present enrolled in the school.

Nine levels of Chinese
language and art classes are offered in the school. The school
principal selected by the Board of Directors directs and
coordinates all major activities. The Board of Directors supports
the Principal and sets school policies. Teachers of the school are
responsible for weekly teaching activities and some of the school
logistics. Only teachers of the school are given a nominal
honorarium for their committed time every week. The principal and
other board members are volunteers.
The major goal of the
school is to create an environment for students to:
- Obtain proficiency in
Chinese language, spoken as well as written, and
- Learn to appreciate
art through hands-on experience.
Springleaf Chinese School
admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to
all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally
accorded or made available to the students at the school.
