LITTLE PALM Chinese Academy

Little Palm was founded by moms out of love for our children. We aim to create an empowering learning environment where our children can flourish.

Little Palm Chinese Academy is located in Silicon Valley, California. We have a professional knowledge of Chinese linguistics and years’ experience teaching Chinese as a second language. From the many available teaching methods and ideologies, we feel called to provide an inspiring learning experience and effective teaching approach for our students. We are student-centered. With a tailored curriculum, up-to-date material, and small class teaching, we provide a premium learning platform for every one of our students.

Our team believes in the importance of personalized learning. We adapt our teaching strategies to suit each student's individual background and cultivate intrinsic motivation in our students. We believe learning a language should be enjoyable and emphasize happy learning.

To maintain our competitive advantage, our teachers discuss and collaborate on teaching outcomes in weekly internal meetings and attend external trainings regularly. Our ultimate goal is to establish a mutual learning community that empowers our students to freely explore each of the five “C” standards ---- Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities.
