We pay great attention to the learning environment as it relates to the specific needs of language development.

Our mission includes elevating the self-esteem of our students and fostering a positive self-image that embraces the students’ cultural roots.
Our teachers will treat them with respect, dignity, compassion and understanding. Our teachers will serve as facilitators and a motivators in challenging them with high but realistic expectations depending on their individual needs.

Teachers will teach the skills they need for success in our society that will empower them to overcome difficulties and frustrations in order to achieve their full potential academically and socially. As a representative of Chinese culture, we also teach students new perspectives on life experience that are different from their own.
Our school mission also includes providing social and emotional support for our students by establishing positive relationships with students and their families. We will work as a liaison between the school and the families, providing opportunities for acculturation and socialization, while encouraging parents to become involved in their child’s education. Lastly, our school mission is to increase our students’ Chinese language proficiency in the four domains of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Magic Education offers comprehensive services for kids of all ages , including Chinese learning, healthy lunch service, tutoring, and classes in arts and crafts, music, dance, math, martial arts, science, and AP test. We will take advantage of the modern digital technology in our teaching in order to help children develop problem solving skill and logical thinking.
