Words From Our Principal

Ni Hao!

My name is Jennifer. I am so proud of Toronto Mandarin School - our dedicated teachers, our supportive families and our ambitious students. After co-founding the school 20 years ago, I've watched students - year after year - achieving their goals and moving forward with more confidence and greater opportunities. It reminds me of when I first came to Canada and learned English; my life changed. Learning a new language is like opening a new window to see the world. Let's explore it together.

Our Story

Toronto Mandarin School was founded in 2000. In the beginning, we started with only 23 students. Now we boast 80+ teachers, 60+ courses, thousands of students at 9 locations across the Greater Toronto Area.

Our primary goal is to teach our students Putonghua (standard Mandarin), modern Chinese phonetic system (Hanyu Pinyin), and simplified Chinese characters, using the official language system of Mainland China.

In doing so, we accomplish our mission: To share and educate others about the Chinese language and culture, and to foster a broader understanding and appreciation of the world beyond our borders.
