About Our School

Rocky Mountain Chinese School (RMCS) is a small non-profit educational institution whose mission is teaching and sharing the Mandarin language and cultural traditions of the Chinese-speaking world. Since 1985, we have educated more than a thousand children and adults in the Denver/Boulder area.

For children who are new to Mandarin, there is a track for Chinese as Second Language (CSL). Due to resource constraints, there is no longer a separate accelerated track for students who already speak Mandarin at home.
Our adult classes teach conversational skills for business and travel.
Every year, we offer a summer camp for children ages 4-16.

RMCS classes are held at Alexander Dawson School in Lafayette, Colorado. Classes are held on Sunday afternoons between 1:00 – 4:00 pm. Classes are in session September – December (fall) and January – May (spring). For each session, language classes run for 12 weeks and enrichment classes for 10 weeks.

School Culture

RMCS welcomes students and teachers of all ages and backgrounds. Our community has overseas Chinese from throughout Asia, adopted Chinese children, multi-racial families, and people who just want to learn Chinese.

Our reasons for being at RMCS are equally diverse, but we are united by our passion for the Mandarin language and Chinese culture.
