Introduction to Bilingual Course

The Bilingual course utilizes the ‘Young Chinese’ Dialogue textbook, which is specifically designed for non-Chinese speakers and covers levels 1 through 10. Its purpose is to provide an effective learning resource for non-Chinese speakers to develop their Chinese language skills in reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The textbook is closely aligned with the standards set by the Office of Chinese Language Council International, which created the YCT and HSK standard Chinese language exams. It is also tailored to meet the requirements of the SAT-II/AP Chinese exams.

7. Requirement of Parents Volunteer Services:

1. ACSDG is a non-profit educational institution. The administrative and operational services are done by volunteer-based parents. Because of the pandemic, to ensure the safety of the students and teachers as well as the school operation, we need parent-volunteers to do the services in the school during the classes.

2. Each family of an in-person class student is required to complete at least 3 times of mandatory volunteer service per school year, and each time of service is 2.5 hours or longer. The parent on duty needs to come to school at 8:30 am and to sign the attendance sheet in the duty room. The specific days and duties of the volunteer service for each family will be scheduled with the assistance of the class parent representatives.

3. We prefer your time and service, but if you choose not to volunteer for a special reason, please register the “Class” “2024-25学年义工服务付费” (Class ID: 25-26-Z-YG) for your child(ren) and pay a non-refundable fee of $50/student. This will serve as your acknowledgement of the ACSGD 2024-2025 SY Parents Volunteer Services policy. We will not assign the volunteer services to the parents of the students in this “Class”.

4. If you choose to opt-out of the volunteer services and have difficulties (e.g. for the cases listed below) to pay the Volunteer Fee for your child(ren), please submit the “Application of Waiver of Volunteer Service” form to school.

• You’re enrolled in or eligible to participate in the federal National School Lunch Program (NSLP).
• Your family's annual income falls within the Income Eligibility Guidelines set by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service.
• You're enrolled in a federal, state, or local program that aids students from low-income families, for example, TRIO programs like Upward Bound.
• You’re homeless or live in federally subsidized public housing or a foster home.
• You’re a ward of the state or an orphan.

5. We encourage the parents of online class students to do the volunteer services as well. However, they are not required to do 3 times of volunteer services per year at this time.
