North Valley Chinese School (NVCS) has been providing Chinese language and culture education to pre-school age thru 12th grade students in the San Jose Berryessa area since 1998. We strongly believe that the education our students are getting from our school will enhance each of our student’s sense of inner value and heritage identity, if applicable, and will help to promote their understanding and appreciation for other cultures in this age of globalization, and as a result, make them a better and more responsible citizen in this diverse world-community.
