About Charlotte Chinese Academy

关于夏洛特中文学校

A community built on language, culture, and the belief that every child deserves to know their roots.

Founded in 1996 by Chinese-American families, CCA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with 300+ K–12 students who gather every Sunday at Providence Day School, 5800 Sardis Road, Charlotte, NC 28270. We are a certified PVSA organization.

Our mission · 我们的使命

Keeping a language — and a culture — alive

CCA preserves Chinese language so it does not fade with distance or time. A child who speaks Chinese is a bridge between worlds — between generations, between here and home.

Built by parents, run by volunteers, and sustained by a community that believes in what we do.
