Academic Year & Events
The academic year runs from early September to the end of June and is divided into two semesters. Each year, the school organizes two major events: a Chinese New Year Celebration and an End-of-Semester tea party.
Who Can Join
We warmly welcome individuals of all nationalities and backgrounds, aged 2 to 99, who are interested in Chinese culture—including overseas Chinese youth.
Sponsorship
This website is proudly sponsored by the Overseas Community Affairs Council, Republic of China (Taiwan).
The early form of many Chinese characters may seem quite complicated, but if you know how to disassemble and analyze the characters, you will find that most of their structures are very logical and reasonable. I think that the “original characters” will always be the unshakable foundation of academic research in Chinese etymology. More importantly, through the “original characters”, you are able to come face-to-face with the wise and ancestral inventors of Chinese characters, and be introduced to splendid Chinese cultural traditions in domains such as technology, art, architecture and culture. And of course, it can also give people a glimpse into ancient China, in particular its geographical sceneries and the seeming life of its ordinary citizens.
China: Empire of Living Symbols
Cecilia LINDQVIST
In Feburary 1999, a group of Taiwanese mothers who had left their homeland having married into Swiss families, joined forces to establish le Groupe du Chinois Mandarin, a Chinese-language school in Geneva. They were motivated by their eagerness to ensure that their children, despite growing up in Switzerland, would still speak their mother tongue.
In the past 20 years, our school has flourished and garnered the support of the overseas Chinese-speaking community in the region, while maintaining its founding principles of being a non-profit, non-religious and apolitical organization.
Our mission is to provide a space where traditional Chinese culture is celebrated and to foster a community of Chinese-language lovers. Above all we are deeply committed to delivering excellency in our teaching of the Chinese language.
Dear Parents and Students,
Our school will officially start the new academic year on Saturday, September 13, 2025, beginning the first semester.
