Mission

BCS is dedicated to promoting Chinese language and cultural heritage.  BCS does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, nationality, and ethnic origins.  We rely on the coordination of the parents, the experience of the teachers, the participation of students, and the support of the community to give our students a rewarding and successful learning experience.

Registration is open to students of all school ages and levels, who wish to learn Mandarin Chinese and Chinese culture.  We teach traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters, and offer classes in Pinyin and Zhuyin Fuhao, also known as Bopomofo.  We are among the first in Birmingham area to incorporate IQChinese language learning system with other multimedia and traditional teaching tools in our curriculum.
We are currently in the process of developing our Adult Conversation Course.  If you are interested, please fill out the form under Contact tab.
