Background and History

MMCS is a non-profit weekend Chinese language school founded in 1996.

It is the largest Chinese language school in Minnesota with over 300 students, as well as one of the earliest Chinese language schools established in the United States. It is also one of the largest ethnic organizations in the Twin Cities Chinese community.

For parents, we offer volleyball, table tennis, health fitness classes and Chinese painting classes. We also have a student choir named The Spring Blossoms and a Parent Teacher Association (PTA).
