SMCS provides local Chinese descendents with one of the best environments to learn Chinese culture, arts, and language.
The school launched the Taiwan Center for Mandarin Learning (TCML) in March 2023, set up within the school’s organizational structure and supervised by the Board of Directors. The TCML in SMCS is equipped with abundant software and hardware, well-qualified teaching staff, and excellent instructional content to promote Mandarin learning and Taiwanese culture to the mainstream community. Building on 30 years of the school’s Mandarin education experience, the TCML in SMCS has become the leading hub in Michigan for promoting Mandarin learning with Taiwanese characteristics.
