"My eldest son attended summer'03 program. Prior to this experience, he had no exposure to the Chinese language. After the first week of attendance, he was so excited about his work and he wanted to attend it yearlong. SCA made it fun to learn the language and its culture. The teachers here are well experienced in their teaching styles and present the materials in a way that is fun to learn. This school has made learning so enjoyable that he doesn't realize he's going to school to learn! He always looks forward to going and thinks its "cool" to know another language besides English. His enthusiasm has sparked his younger brother to attend as well."

"Our son Nikko has been attending SCA's summer program since 2001. Last year, our daughter Adriana was happy that she could finally join her big brother. We have been very pleased with their progress in Chinese and the commitment from the teachers. SCA has truly provided a wonderful learning environment for children's Chinese education."

"Both Michelle (7) and Mitchell (4 1/2) were enrolled in the summer program last year. Aside from the fun activities like strawberry/blueberry picking field trips and arts and crafts which they particulary enjoyed, both kids made good friends and learned Chinese. We were, especially, impressed by Mitchell's progress. Mitchell started off not speaking a word of Chinese. However, under Wang Lao Shi's creative and fun instruction, Mitchell can now belt out a tune and speaks few phrases in Chinese."

"It was our first summer living in Seattle. Our 3 yrs old son Nathan and 5 yrs old daughter Cynthis were not completely adjusted to the new environment given the fact that they were having lots of cousins/relatives and friends to play with prior to the relocation. Shortly after the 2003 summer program at Sammamish Chinese Academy started, they were so excited and can*t wait to go back to school the next day. All the teachers at school are very loving and kind to the kids. In our opinion, this is the perfect program where we know our kids are learning and having fun the same time. Even now (Feb 04), they can*t wait to go back to the summer program whenever we talk about it."

"Our son attended the summer program in Sammamish Chinese Academy last summer. He especially enjoyed learning Chinese songs and rhymes and shared proudly with us at home. He also had fun experiences from different activities and made friends. Thanks to all the dedicated staff for providing the enjoyable and safe learning environment! Our son is expecting another exciting summer in SCA!"

��Ian truly enjoyed his experience over the summer. He was more interested in speaking to me in Chinese and his Chinese has improved a lot over the summer. There were times that he would ask me on how to say certain things in Chinese, just an example of how much more interested he was in learning Chinese. I think the fact that there were other Chinese kids like him at school made him feel that learning Chinese is a norm instead of a chore.��

"Our son, Ryan attended the 2002 summer program at Chinese Academy. We were pleased that the program sparked Ryan's interest in Chinese. Ryan enjoyed his teachers and was excited to learn different Chinese songs, Chinese characters and various riddles. He even taught his 2 year old brother some Chinese rhymes and riddles too! Ryan is looking forward to another exciting summer camp at Chinese Academy this year."

"Our daughter Amber is a third generation Chinese American. Amber had indicated how she wanted to learn Chinese and asked us to find her a Chinese school to attend so we enrolled her at Sammamish Chinese Academy last summer (2002). Amber really enjoyed learning Chinese and the enrichment classes and has continued with Chinese school since then. We are so happy that our daughter is learning about her heritage and is learning to communicate in Chinese."

"Our 7-year-old daughter has been taking Chinese lesson at SCA since last summer (2002). We feel happy for her in choosing SCA from the very beginning. We are impressed by the progress she has been making in reading and writing Chinese. The school's commitments in making learning a second language enjoyable, working effectively with parents and providing children with a safe learning environment definitely make SCA one of the best Chinese schools to attend in Seattle."
Jamie and Phil Liaw

"Both my 10 year old son and 8 year old daughter attended summer school again last year (2002). Since attending the Sammamish Chinese Academy, my children's speaking and reading abilities have improved markedly and the summer programs always help them take a giant leap forward before starting back in with their other academic commitments during the school year. The memorizing aspect inherent in learning Chinese language has complimented their academic studies especially in math and my kids always have high grades in spelling etc. due to honed ability to see and memorize with greater ease."
Rachel Knight and Jonathan Love

"We would like to express our delight with SCA. Our two children, ages 4 and 7 were in SCA last summer (2002). After a couple of weeks we could see a huge progress in both children's Chinese. They started enjoying talking and learning Chinese. Their interest in Chinese has since flourished. SCA provides not only the outstanding Chinese curriculum but also various activities, such as math, reading, games, and field trips. We are very happy that we have such a wonderful Chinese school so close to our home."

"Dino went to the Chinese Academy Summer School of 2002. He had had no prior exposure to Asian cultures and we were eager to expose him to a different culture. While attending school, he would describe us the logic of ideograms and started recognizing symbols when we ate at Chinese restaurants. He liked the school so much that he plans to attend next year."
Jerry de Raad and Monika Machado

"Both my 8 year old son and 6 year old daughter attended summer school last year (2001) and have continued attending during the academic year. We appreciate not only the high commitment to educational integrity of the the school director, and teachers, but also the enthusiasm of the educators who make learning a second language enjoyable. Since attending the Sammamish Chinese Academy, my children's speaking and reading abilities have improved markedly and the summer program really helps them take a giant leap forward before starting back in with their other academic commitments during the school year."
Rachel Knight and Jonathan Love

"Both our daughter and son attended the summer camp again at SCA last year (2001). We all enjoyed the program, especially my 5-year-old son. Ever since the Chinese summer program, our son has been speaking more and more Chinese at home. The afternoon reading enrichment program taught my son to read and has sparked his reading interestever since. We feel that children not only have fun but also learn a lot at SCA. We also enjoyed the safe and convenient location of the school."

"We were surprised and very pleased when Nikko started speaking full sentences in Chinese after only two weeks in the Sammamish Chinese Academy last summer (2001). Before then, although Nikko could understand Chinese, he was not able to speak much at all. This is mostly because only Mom speaks Chinese to him at home. Now he is truly fluent in both Chinese and English. Thank you, Sammamish Chinese Academy."
Jun-Shan Wey and David Rush

"The summer program (2001) was innovative because it touches not only the language but fun things like games and culture aspects. Our 12-year-old daughter was excited to go and thoroughly enjoyed herself."
Candace Wilkins & Steven Chun

"My son and daughter attended last summer's (2000) Chinese Academy Program. They loved the program and it sparked their interest in learning Chinese. They asked to continue Chinese lessons in the fall. They both are excited to return to the program this summer. The staff at the Chinese Academy are skilled teachers who understand how to make learning fun and how to find what works for each individual child. It is a wonderful program."
Nancy Kaplan

"Both our daughter and son attended the summer camp at SCA last year (2000). We all enjoyed the program, especially my then 4-year-old son. Ever since the Chinese summer program, our son has been speaking more and more Chinese at home. We feel that children not only have fun but also learn a lot at SCA. We also enjoyed the safe and convenient location of the school."
