“ 这一切都是为了孩子 ”

“ Everything We Do Is for the Children ”

一、 创校历程与使命 | Founding & Mission

2026年，世纪中文学校（CCLS）充满自豪地迎来了建校 30 周年。学校于 1996 年由三位富有远见的女性——Lina Chen、Xingxian Yan与Dongling Xia共同创办。作为一家服务于大波士顿地区家庭的非营利周末中文学校，CCLS 始终恪守“这一切都是为了孩子”的创校宗旨，从最初的几名学生发展成为如今拥有近 200 名学子的充满活力的教育社区。

In 2026, Century Chinese Language School (CCLS) proudly celebrates its 30th anniversary. Founded in 1996 by three visionary women—Lina Chen, Xingxian Yan, and Dongling Xia—CCLS is a nonprofit weekend Chinese language school serving families throughout the Greater Boston area. Guided by its founding motto, “Everything We Do Is for the Children,” the school has grown from just a handful of students into a vibrant educational community of nearly 200 students.

二、 奉献精神与社区凝聚 | Volunteerism & Community

三十年蓬勃发展的背后，是卓越的志愿服务精神与强大的社区支持。历届 11 支领导团队、100 多位无私奉献的教师志愿者、无数鼎力支持的家长，以及慷慨解囊的个人与企业捐赠者，倾注了大量的时间、智慧与资源。他们与董事会一道，为学校的持续成功奠定了坚实的基础。董事会设立了奖学金以表彰和鼓励优秀学生，历届领导团队也建立了完善的表彰机制，向奉献心血的教师、学生和家长致敬。

Behind these thirty years of growth is an extraordinary spirit of volunteerism and community support. Eleven successive leadership teams, more than one hundred dedicated teacher volunteers, countless supportive parents, and generous individual and business donors have contributed their time, talents, and resources. Together with the Board of Directors, they have built a strong foundation for the school’s continued success. The Board has also established scholarships to recognize and encourage outstanding students, while successive leadership teams have maintained recognition programs honoring teachers, students, and parents for their dedication and contributions.

三、 薪火相传与文化延续 | Preserving Heritage & Nurturing Youth

三十年来，CCLS 始终致力于中文教学、传承中华文化遗产并抚育下一代。学生们不仅掌握了语言技能、加深了文化理解，更传承了回报社区的精神。许多高年级学生重返校园担任助教，或独立教授文化课程，将知识与热情传递给年幼的学子。优秀毕业生们怀揣梦想走进理想的高校，并在社会各领域做出积极贡献。

For three decades, CCLS has remained committed to teaching Chinese language, preserving Chinese cultural heritage, and nurturing future generations. Its students have not only developed language skills and cultural understanding, but have also embraced the spirit of giving back. Many senior students return as teaching assistants or independently teach cultural courses, passing their knowledge and enthusiasm on to younger learners. Graduates have gone on to pursue their dreams at colleges and universities of their choice and contribute to society.

四、 展望未来与课程创新 | Looking Ahead & Innovation

站在这一重要里程碑上，我们为这段由奉献、慷慨与坚韧铸就的历程感到无比自豪。展望未来，CCLS 将继续加强与当地学校及社区组织的合作，同时开发融合传统中文语言文学与现代元素（如人工智能、数字媒体、中国当代发展及中美文化交流）的创新课程，致力于让中文学习对下一代更具时代感、吸引力和启发性。

As we celebrate this milestone, we take pride in a journey built on shared dedication, generosity, and perseverance. Looking ahead, CCLS will continue to strengthen partnerships with local schools and community organizations, while developing an innovative curriculum that combines traditional Chinese language and literature with modern elements such as artificial intelligence, digital media, contemporary developments in China, and U.S.-China cultural exchange. Our goal is to make Chinese learning more relevant, engaging, and inspiring for future generations.

三十载坚守，三十年薪火相传。

Thirty years of unwavering commitment. Thirty years of passing the torch from one generation to the next.
