2023 - 2024 Chinese School of Delaware Board

Janus Lin 林健元 -- CSD Board Chair

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve on the Board of the Chinese School of Delaware (CSD). I  am American-born Chinese and since we don't speak Mandarin at home  appreciate the Immersion classes that the school offers. My family lives  in PA where Chinese is not offered in school. One of my  daughters is currently attending CSD -- one of the best aspects of CSD  are the culture classes and events that the school hosts beyond just  your typical "classroom" instruction time. It's great to see the  children participate in and enjoy these sessions!
