As a native Cantonese speaker, it is difficult to nurture the language and heritage in San Diego…read more We looked around and found CSSD when our child turned 4. Our hopes were (1) to connect with other Cantonese speakers in the community and foster a social/cultural context for using Cantonese, (2) foster Chinese literacy. Going on Year 3 with CSSD, Ms. Cassandra and her school team have been proactive in seeking family feedback and enhancing instruction. Every Saturday in Cantonese class, the children learn in a non-traditional format. Having learned from my own peers who went to Chinese school, we had been concerned about the lack of engagement and retaining learning via rigid instruction (e.g., sitting, listening, drilling). But here at CSSD, we deeply appreciate the interactive approach in instruction - weekly themes, hands-on activities such as calligraphy, cooking, projects, and using different media - music, videos, stories. Of course, weekly home practice is still a must and much appreciated. For those that don't speak Cantonese well, the teacher has been helpful by providing pronunciation recordings for supporting home practice. As the school year winds down, each class also prepares for and performs each May during the graduation ceremony. It is always amazing to witness their progress. CSSD also has many community events. Ms. Cassandra often informs families in community events, and we are really grateful for those opportunities. Last, we were invited to watch NeZha 2, which we thoroughly enjoyed. It is crucial that my child gets to experience the Chinese culture through popular media, as other children living in Chinese-speaking countries would experience. I highly recommend CSSD for their Mandarin and Cantonese programs!

Prof. Maria will give you updates on your child's progress, and make it fun for them. My daughter has gained more confidence, and is excited to attend her Spanish tutoring. Her Spanish grade has improved.

Test Center Review:…read more Came here for a Pearson Vue test. This center is exactly what I was expecting for a professional testing center. They had high availability of scheduling times even less than a week from when I scheduled the exam. They are efficient with check-in and check-out at the office adjacent to exam room. They provide high-school type lockers to stow your personal items before entering the exam room. You can bring your own lock or use one they provide for you. The exam room is a decent size (I did not feel cramped), you check in with the moderator and that person logs you into your exam. It was a quiet environment, the equipment worked appropriately and the staff is good about directing you from step to step to get you from start to finish during your test day. Free parking --- yes it was pretty full like they warn you about in their directions blurb. I was able to find more than a few empty spots at the back of the lot on a weekday morning though.

Course books are very good, additional reading material is well selected to be educational, beyond just language aspect, and her class is always animated w/ discussions on various topics (in Spanish of course).

For those of you interested in discovering Mexico, the bonus part is all sorts of events organized by Rosie, including fiestas, frequent trips to Baja and more.
