春风化雨,传承五千年璀璨文化

桃李芬芳,见证二十载辛勤耕耘

华夏爱迪生中文学校创建于1998年2月,以所在地爱迪生市命名,是华夏中文学校最早成立的分校之一。爱迪生市位于新州中部,交通便利,人口众多,是各族裔的聚集地。爱迪生分校的建立得到了总校和当地亚裔的鼎力支持,开启了传播中华文化的平台,也成为团结凝聚华人力量的重要纽带。建校仅一年后,便一跃成为当时美东最大的中文学校,声名远播。建校以来,学校培养了大批的优秀毕业生。

学校以敎授中文、弘扬中华文化、服务社区、促进各族裔间的多元文化交流为办学宗旨,以汉语拼音和简体中文敎学为主,分别开设30多个中文班,包括标准中文、马立平中文、CSL班,以及近40个不同类别的文体班和俱乐部活动。作为一个非营利组织,学校所有权属于由家长选举组成的理事会。校长负责学校的管理运作,教务长执行对教学的监督管理。在历任十四位校长的带领下,如今学校已拥有一支优秀的敎师队伍和稳定、实干的管理团队。校委会、家长会、理事会和家长义工们对学校的无私奉献,对社区活动的积极参与,是学校发展的坚实基础。

值此二十周年庆典之际,象征华夏爱迪生精神生生不息、薪火相传的校徽正式启用,向二十华诞献礼。
