Founded in 1963, Palo Alto Chinese School (PACS) is located in Palo Alto, California and is the oldest Chinese school in the San Francisco Bay Area. The school was formed with a merger between a Cantonese school and a Mandarin school. The history of the Cantonese school could be traced back to 1960, when the Santa Clara Overseas Chinese School was founded. Nowadays, Palo Alto Chinese School is no longer offering Cantonese courses. It only offers Mandarin and Chinese as a second language courses and an adult calligraphy class.
School hours are 7:00PM–9:00PM on Friday nights at Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School, Palo Alto. PACS offers Mandarin Chinese classes from kindergarten to 12th grade in two different curricula:
Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) Curriculum: This is generally designed for students whose primary language at home is not Mandarin Chinese.
Adult calligraphy classes started in 2006.
Palo Alto Chinese School is a member of the Association of Northern California Chinese Schools (ANCCS).
