awareness to the community. The school is established in 1997 in Edison
as a new member organization under the Chinese American Cultural
Association (CACA), a Federal and New Jersey State recognized 501(c)
non-profit organization. Enrollment is open to everyone in the
community.
We provide curriculum as follows:
- Chinese language courses: For students from a

background. Pre-K through 10th Grade. We teach Traditional Chinese
characters, using phonetic (Zhuyin) and Pinyin (from 4th Grade).

students from a
non-Chinese speaking background. Beginners to intermediate.
- Cultural courses: Chinese Painting, Calligraphy,
Chinese Knotting,
Chinese Dance, and more.
- Adult programs: Ballroom dance, sports, short-term

The school year starts in September and ends in June of
the following year, with about 32 school weeks. Classes are held on
Saturdays from 12:40 to 3:30 PM. The first two periods are for the
Language lessons, and the third period is for the Cultural lessons.
The school holds regular academic contests and festival
celebration. We also provide many interesting and useful seminars for
the student parents and the community residents. There is also a youth
volunteer program for the high school students. Because of its CACA
membership, the school enjoys plenty opportunities to interact with
other CACA schools and cultural organizations.
CACA Edison Chinese School's administrative members
include Principal, Vice Principal, Secretary, Dean, Treasurer, Director
of Security and Discipline, Director of General Affair, Director of
