Dear Parents,

Greetings!

We are pleased to announce that registration for the 2025–2026 school year at MIOT is now officially open! The new academic year will begin in early September 2025 and conclude in mid-June 2026. (The detailed school calendar will be released soon.)

In the coming school year, our school will continue to offer a full Chinese language program, including CSL (Chinese as a Second Language), Preschool, Shuangshuang Levels 1–9, and the AP Chinese Prep Class. In addition to our already rich selection of cultural and enrichment classes, we are excited to introduce several new offerings such as Chinese Conversation, Sketching, Rhythmic Gymnastics, and TIMO (Thinker, Innovator, Maker, Orator). Several of our art courses have also been redesigned for improved learning outcomes.

We will continue to host a variety of school-wide activities including our Speech & Recitation Contest, Calligraphy & Writing Contest, Mental Math Competition, and the popular Turkey Trot. We will also remain active participants in competitions organized by the Huaxia Headquarters, such as debate, recitation, and art contests. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements.

💡 Class Due Policy

• To reduce the workload for parent volunteers (i.e class parents), we began collecting a $10 class due with each Chinese language course last year. This fund is used for class gifts and greeting cards for teachers during the holidays and end-of-term appreciation. Based on the feedback from last year's trial, this school year's class due will be adjusted to $15. If you prefer not to participate, simply click the “opt out of dues” button next to the course during registration.
