歷經華人社區及學生家長們的共同努力，Tri-City Chinese School(TCCS) 中文學校創始於1994年。本校是一個依據501(c)(3)法成立的非營利組織，其行政人事均由學生家長們自願義務擔當。我們藉著鼓勵性的薪酬方式，積極地招募和聘請最好且有經驗的專業老師；其中不少的老師過去都曾獲頒“優秀語文教師”獎。
Through the joint efforts of the Chinese community and parents of students, Tri-City Chinese School (TCCS) was founded in 1994. Our school is a non-profit organization under the 501 (c) (3) Law. Its administrative positions are voluntarily undertaken by parents of students. We actively recruit and employ the best and most experienced professional teachers through encouraging remuneration. Many teachers have been awarded the “Excellent Chinese Teacher” award in the past.
除了提供優良及友善的中文學習環境，我們也深信和重視中國文化的傳承。每學期都包含了年度學校學術競賽及農曆新年慶祝活動。
In addition to providing a good and friendly environment for Chinese learning, we also believe in and value the heritage of Chinese culture. The school calendar includes an annual school wide academic competition and Lunar New Year celebrations.
學校不斷地研討和尋求更適合海外華文教育的方法，至今從幼稚園到八年級均設有班級施教。我們用繁體中文，自低年級使用(ㄅㄆㄇㄈ)注音方式教學；拼音（pinyin）在四年級時導入課程中，好讓學生八年級以後想繼續學習漢語或參與SAT考試做好準備。
We continue to discuss and seek more suitable methods for overseas Chinese education, and class levels go from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. We teach in traditional Chinese characters and use phonetic notation Zhuyin in the lower grades. Pinyin learning is introduced into the curriculum in the fourth grade to prepare students who want to continue learning Chinese after the eighth grade and for future SAT testing.
除了主要的傳統漢語課程，我們也對2013年推出的CFL（對外漢語）教學感到非常興奮。這教學吸引了一些沒有中文背景的學生，也吸引了一些在家裡可能會說不同漢語方言的家庭參加。這些班級的老師採用了漢語和英語相結合的教學方法以達到最佳的教學效果。
In addition to the main traditional Chinese stream, we are also very excited about the Chinese as a Foreign Language (CFL) classes launched in 2013. This CFL stream has attracted students who have no Chinese background and families who may speak different Chinese dialects at home. The teachers in these classes adopt the teaching method of combining Chinese and English to achieve the best effect.
除了我們的中文課程外，學校還提供了不同的課外課程，如算盤、國際象棋（西洋）、圍棋、工藝美術、繪畫、籃球和電腦編碼入門等。
In addition to our Chinese classes, the school also offers different extra-curricular activities, such as Abacus, Chess (Western), Go, Art, Drawing, Basketball and Computer Coding.
最後而且非常重要的是，我們即將畢業的八年級學生都有機會透過在語文課上以擔任助教的方式來展示回饋的美德。他們在服務年度結束時，照年龄和時間，可能可以獲得總統志願服務獎，以作為對他們的貢獻和努力的感謝和肯定；而且他們所有出任助教的時間都可以適用和抵用於高中學校所要求自願服務貢獻的時間計算。
Finally, and very importantly, all of our graduating eighth graders have the opportunity to demonstrate the virtue of giving back by acting as teaching assistants (TA) in our Chinese classes. At the end of each service year, depending on their age and number of hours served, they may be eligible to receive the President’s Volunteer Service Award as a recognition and appreciation of their contributions and efforts. At the same time, their TA hours can be credited towards the volunteer hours required for graduation in many public high schools.
