About Us
Founded in 1995, the Mass Beijing Chinese Language School (MASS BCLS) is a non-profit community school dedicated to sharing Chinese language and culture. We welcome students from preschool through grade 12, offering engaging classes in Chinese, math, and art every Sunday afternoon at St. John’s High School in Shrewsbury. (From 1995 to 2024, classes were held at UMass Medical School in Worcester.)
For nearly 30 years, MASS BCLS has been a place where students learn with joy, families connect, and our community comes together to celebrate the richness of Chinese heritage.

Dedicated, Non-Profit Mission: Our sole focus is on your child’s education. As a non-profit, we invest everything back into providing the highest quality language and cultural instruction.
