Dear ACLS Families and Friends,

The 2025 ACLS Graduation Ceremony and Performance was successfully concluded last Sunday. We celebrated the important milestone of 17 graduates who successfully completed nine years of Chinese learning; we expressed our gratitude and respect to the hard-working and dedicated teachers, and presented the Long-term Service Contribution Award and the Outstanding Teacher Award. The performance was brilliant and fully demonstrated the talents and progress of the students. We sincerely thank all the students who participated in the performance, the teachers, the parents, and the volunteers for your hard work and dedication!

We will have the last day of the ACLS Spring Semester this Sunday, June 8th! Classroom access begins at 1:45 PM. Classes start at 2:00 PM.  Parent duty please check in with the Security team in the lobby. (ACLS Parent On Duty Handbook)
