Chinese Enrichment Classes in Singapore
Our Chinese enrichment programme in Singapore is carefully designed to align with the Ministry of Education’s (MOE) syllabus. By reinforcing key components of the school curriculum, we support children in developing a strong foundation in the Chinese language from an early age. Lessons are structured to build vocabulary, sentence structure, and oral communication skills that are directly relevant to what students encounter in school.
Early exposure to the Chinese language not only helps children keep pace with MOE expectations but also builds their confidence in using the language in academic and everyday contexts. As Singapore is a bilingual city state, a strong start in Chinese paves the way for smoother transitions through each academic stage. Additionally, it nurtures a deeper appreciation of Chinese culture and communication.

Improves Chinese Exam Readiness
These Chinese enrichment classes often include practice papers, oral components and listening comprehension aligned with the MOE syllabus. This will familiarise your child with exam formats and builds confidence in applying what they’ve learnt under timed conditions.
Boosts Confidence and Interest in the Language
By using engaging activities such as storytelling, interactive games and thematic discussions, our enrichment classes create a more enjoyable learning experience. As your child sees progress, their self-assurance grows, encouraging a more positive attitude towards using Chinese in daily life.
Enrichment Classes for Primary Students
Suitable for Nursery 2 to Primary 1 Students
Our Chinese enrichment classes are designed for children aged 4 to 7 who are in Nursery 2, Kindergarten 1–2, or just beginning Primary 1. At this stage, children are building their language and thinking skills that form the foundation for literacy. The classes we offer support this crucial phase by introducing Chinese in an engaging and age-appropriate way, allowing children to gain early confidence in listening, speaking, recognising characters, and expressing themselves in Mandarin.
Beginners and more advanced learners welcome
Whether your child is just starting to learn Chinese or already has some exposure, we provide a supportive environment that meets them where they are. Lessons are structured to cater to a range of abilities, with plenty of guidance for beginners and added challenges for those ready to move ahead. Our aim is to build a positive learning experience from the outset, helping every child feel capable and motivated to improve.
Grouped by ability and age
To ensure meaningful progress, children are grouped by both age and proficiency. This allows teachers to deliver lessons that are designed for the right level, with activities that match the student’s developmental and language needs. It also encourages social learning, as children can interact and collaborate with peers who are at a similar stage.
Eases the transition to Primary School Chinese
The shift from preschool to primary school can feel significant, especially when it comes to language expectations. Our curriculum is designed to gently bridge this gap by familiarising children with the vocabulary, sentence structures, and comprehension skills they’ll encounter in Primary School. Through stories, songs, role-play, and writing practice, we help students feel prepared for the next step in their educational journey.
After School Programmes
Our after school programmes are designed to be aligned with your child’s daily routine, providing structured and enriching activities beyond regular school hours. Sessions usually take place on weekday afternoons and are held at easily accessible venuessuch as local community centres.
Each programme runs on a termly basis, with flexible sign-up options to suit different schedules. Activities are conducted in small groups to ensure individual attention and meaningful participation.
We also offer a Chinese holiday programme during school breaks. These short-term courses focus on cultural immersion and language reinforcement through interactive storytelling and creative projects, providing a fun and engaging way for children to stay connected with Mandarin outside the academic term.
