Mingham Modern Chinese Language School (MMCLS), which was established in 1995 by a group of Chinese parents, is a non-profit supplementary school in Birmingham. The school aims to provide children, aged between 5 - 18 with a Chinese background and opportunity to learn Mandarin Chinese, incorporating Chinese history, culture, music, literature and poetry etc. From 2002, the school started to provide special courses for the teaching of GCSE Chinese, for which the students have achieved 100% A star or A grades ,and encouraged by this success and to meet the increasing expectations of our students’ parents, in 2009 the school began to teach Chinese for the AS Level. In September 2007, MMCLS moved to King Edwards VI High School for Girls (KEHS). Currently there are more than 150 pupils registered in MMCLS in spread over 11 classes of different age groups. The school’s popularity has extended to the wider community including those of British and other Asian backgrounds, not just those from Mainland China. The curriculum has also been widened to cover English, Maths and Chinese arts in addition to the teaching of Chinese language, These courses run over a period of four hours every Saturday during term time. The school is now governed by a school committee and managed by an appointed head teacher, administrator and 13 teachers all who possessed degree qualifications in relevant disciplines.
