Our Culture

Our “Yong” Story

Adhering to the essence of the Chinese character, "Yong", Dadi Education actively promotes Chinese education. "Yongzi Bafa”, or the eight principles of “Yong 永”, contains the eight common strokes in the regular script of Chinese calligraphy. According to legend, Wang Xizhi, the great calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, spent several years practicing writing "Yong". He believed that if you write the word properly, all Chinese characters can be written well.


We hope that the character, “Yong", will open up a unique Chinese world full of culture and joy in students' education.

Our Philosophy

We are dedicated to making learning both joyful and engaging, while keeping children enthused and confident. Over the years, we have gained widespread recognition from parents and society for our innovative and supportive approach to teaching Mandarin and other skills.


We know many children feel anxious about learning a second language, so our teachers have developed many skills to keep them feeling safe, secure, relaxed, and ready to learn.


From here, learning is joyful and easy.

Our Approach

Our classes focus on whole-brain thinking and learning, a proven approach that helps children enjoy and excel at learning Mandarin and other skills. By strategically integrating movement, art, music, and dance into our classes, we help children develop a variety of mindsets to learn and grow in a happy environment. 


In addition, our innovative classes help children significantly improve their Mandarin and other Chinese skills by stimulating their imaginations. 


In short, our experienced teachers take learning off the page and translate it into joyful and innovative programs.
