About the School
Huaxia Chinese School at Bridgewater, A New Jersey Nonprofit Corporation, admits students of any
race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally
accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship
and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administration programs.
Classes
Among our class offerings are basic Chinese language skill courses and culturally oriented courses. In
Chinese language courses, we use Pin-Yin (alphabetic spelling) system, coupled with simplified
Chinese characters, and Mandarin Chinese dialect to form the basis for instruction. The grade levels
range from pre-school to high school level. The Chinese as Second Language (CSL) classes at the
school are bi-lingual programs specially designed for non-Chinese students. Our curriculum is aligned
with the specific goals and objectives delineated in the 2004 version of the New Jersey Core
Curriculum Content Standards for World Languages. Our cultural class offerings are designed to be
complimentary to the academic classes. They foster an environment for students to learn and
appreciate Chinese culture and to practice Chinese language. A wide variety of subjects are offered,
including: Painting and drawing, Martial arts, Folk dancing, Crafts, Chess, Basketball, Tai Chi, and
Aerobics, etc.

Registration and Selection of Classes
Please note that all registrations are subject to availability. Classes may be canceled for insufficient
enrollment, or if essential facility is not available. In addition, the school shall have limited availability
for non-Bridgewater and non-Raritan students. The admission for non-residents may be stopped early
without further notice. However, all admitted students shall have equal opportunity in receiving class
assignments. Should any class you registered is canceled, or for any other reason you cannot be
admitted, a full refund for your payment will be made.
If you have any other questions about the school, please e-mail us. We will provide timely response to
all e-mail inquiries. Please include your phone number so that one of the staff members may contact
you if necessary.
When more than one class is available for the same grade level, students may select any of the classes
at initial registration. This will allow those students who would like to be classmates with each other to
register in the same class. However, the school reserves the right to make final assignments. This may
become necessary if there is significant imbalance in class sizes, or if the number of classes have to be
increased or decreased.
While the school makes a great effort in assigning teachers to appropriate classes, the assignment of
class numbers at the same grade level will be done randomly. Once the registration is finalized, in
general, transfer request between two Chinese classes of the same level will not be considered. If there
are unusual circumstances that require special attention, the request may be granted only if the normal
teaching programs will not be negatively affected.
Please note, while the enrollment in any class may be withdrawn at the beginning of the semester, the
reassignment into another class will be contingent upon the availability of that class. When a student
withdraws from a class, the opening may be reassigned, and there will not be any guarantee if he/she
wants to return to the original class.
You may enter any special request and other comments by clicking on “Feedback” button. Please let
us know if none of your family members speaks Mandarin Chinese.
After the registration is submitted, please print out the confirmation form from the web site, sign and
mail it with your payment check, made payable to HXCS-BW, to: P.O. Box 6841, Bridgewater, NJ
08807. If you have difficulty entering Chinese names in the online registration process, please also
write down the Chinese names of the students and parents on the confirmation page you send. When
your signed form and full payment is received and processed, your account status will become
“registered”. Until this happens, you can still make change to your class selection. However, if your
change increases the payment due, you’ll need to send out another payment check with the difference,
so that the processing can be completed.
Tuition and Fees
In general, our programs are planned for the whole year. For the convenience of some families, we
also provide an option for registering by semester. When you select classes, you will see the rates for
each class both by school year and by semester. In addition to tuition, Chinese classes are also charged
a book fee. (On web site, the book fee is included in the tuition amount displayed.) Each student is
charged a registration fee, no matter how many classes are registered.

administration. For class withdrawal submitted in the first two weeks of the school, tuition is fully
