About Us

千橡中文學校（TOCS）成立於1975年，最初由王懋德先生授課，只有八名學生，租用Waverly成人學校的教室上課。隨著1989年學生人數大幅增長，原有場地已無法滿足需求，學校因此遷至Redwood中學。1998年1月，TOCS再次搬遷至現址:千橡高中（Thousand Oaks High School）。由於近年來通貨膨脹帶來的營運成本上升以及學生人數下降導致的財政赤字，學校將於2025年遷至加州路德大學California Lutheran University，簡稱CLU。

除了提供紮實的中文語言基礎課程外，TOCS亦開設了多元化的文化項目與活動。近年來，學校不僅致力於提升課程內容與行政管理，也積極與主流社會建立聯繫，爭取當地學區及社區的支持，並踴躍參與各類文化活動。

在社區層面，TOCS透過文化推廣、開放校園參訪等方式，積極向本地社會介紹中華文化；在校內，學校持續強化學生項目，提升教學品質，並號召華裔社群共同支持與推動中文教育的發展。

Thousand Oaks Chinese School (TOCS) was founded in 1975 with just eight students, taught by Mr. Mao-De Wang, in a rented classroom at Waverly Adult School. As enrollment grew substantially by 1989, the original facility could no longer accommodate the increasing student body, leading to a relocation to Redwood Intermediate School. In January 1998, TOCS moved once more to its current campus at Thousand Oaks High School. Due to rising operational deficits caused by inflation and a decline in student enrollment, TOCS will relocate to California Lutheran University (CLU) beginning in 2025.

In addition to offering a strong foundation in Chinese language education, TOCS provides a rich array of cultural programs and activities. In recent years, the school has focused on enhancing its curriculum and administration, while also strengthening ties with the broader community. TOCS actively seeks partnerships and support from local school districts and community organizations and participates enthusiastically in a variety of cultural events.

Within the community, TOCS is dedicated to promoting Chinese culture through outreach efforts and by welcoming visits from school officials and local residents. Within the school, the emphasis remains on enriching student programs, improving instructional quality, and rallying the Chinese-American community to support and advance Chinese language education.
