Founded in August 1993 with just 6 students, De Anza Learning Center (DALC) has grown into a thriving educational community serving over 200 students from kindergarten through 6th grade. As a proud member of the Association of Northern California Chinese Schools (北加州中文學校聯合會), DALC is dedicated to enriching students' lives through comprehensive Chinese Mandarin language and cultural education, complemented by our accelerated mathematics program.
What sets DALC apart is our carefully curated and customized curriculum that combines the best educational resources available. We utilize National Taiwan Museum textbooks enhanced with supplementary materials from the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission. This foundation is further enriched by the collective expertise and contributions of our dedicated teaching staff, ensuring a well-rounded and engaging learning experience.
Our students learn in a safe, nurturing environment guided by exceptional educators. Many of our teachers bring valuable experience from Taiwan's educational system and hold teaching credentials along with advanced degrees. Their expertise and cultural authenticity create an immersive learning atmosphere that honors Chinese heritage while meeting the needs of students in an American context.
The effectiveness of our program is demonstrated through our students' outstanding achievements in Advanced Placement (AP) classes and exams. Our reputation for excellence has grown entirely through word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied parents, reflecting the trust and confidence our community places in DALC's educational approach.
