Confucius Classroom: Home School Chinese

NEW from the Confucius Institute - Confucius Classroom Home School Chinese

The Confucius Institute is proud to offer Chinese classes for Home School students 13 years old and up in the Lincoln area. These classes are intended to provide an education in Chinese language equivalent to what is offered in public high schools for home schooled teens. The course will have stricter expectations with clearly defined goals, homework, assignments, and occasional evaluations with the intention of building real proficiency in Chinese over 2-3 years.

MY LIFE IN CHINA
My father fled the Cultural Revolution in 1966. After risking his life to get to America, he started our family in Boston. But when his restaurant went bankrupt and my mom got sick, he began to feel like he’d failed at the American Dream.
