In addition, HCS for Children's Performing Arts was formed in 1996 offering classes in dancing, chorus, and orchestra, and giving performances on various festivals to promote Chinese culture and arts. HCS for Athletics was formed in 1998. Currently Hope Chinese School has over 1000 students enrolled in all campuses. Encompassing early school through ninth grade, Hope Chinese School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national and ethnic origin in its admission, athletic, educational, hiring, scholarship, or financial aid policies and programs.
Parents are an important part of the children's education.
Parents may volunteer their services, participate in class activities, and attend parent meetings and social events. HCS also sponsors and offers various activities and services for parents, such as free rentals of Chinese reading materials and video tapes, athletic activities, and lectures and discussions on variety of subjects.
