A Chinese school () is a school that is established for the purpose of teaching the varieties of Chinese (in particular, Mandarin and Cantonese), though the purpose can vary to teaching different aspects of Chinese culture such as Chinese art, calligraphy, and martial arts.
 The programs can either be an independent institution or a part of an existing educational institution.
 For example, The Huaxia Chinese School in Great Valley, Pennsylvania operates independently from the Great Valley High School where it is taught.
 However, some programs are part of the school curriculum and is generally a branch of the foreign language department.
 According to various mission statements, many Chinese schools are purposed to preserve traditional Chinese language and culture.
 In 2007, USA Today dubbed Chinese "... is the new English."
 A recent trend in 2011 shows that the Chinese government has also provided funding to U.S. school districts with additional funding on top of funding they already receive from the U.S. government.
 As a result, there has also been concern that the Chinese government may also be infiltrating the education system outside its borders, as some people at a school district in Columbus, Ohio feel it has done.

Nian gao (also niangao; nin gou in Cantonese), sometimes translated as year cake or Chinese New Year's cake, is a food prepared from glutinous rice and consumed in Chinese cuisine.
 While it can be eaten all year round, traditionally it is most popular during Chinese New Year.
 It is also traditionally eaten during the Duanwu Festival.
 It is considered good luck to eat nian gao during this time, because "nian gao" is a homonym for "higher year."
 The Chinese word 粘 ("nián"), meaning "sticky", is identical in sound to 年, meaning "year", and the word 糕 ("gāo"), meaning "cake" is identical in sound to 高, meaning "high or tall".
 As such, eating nian gao has the symbolism of raising oneself taller in each coming year (年年高升 "niánnián gāoshēng").
 It is also known as a rice cake.
 This sticky sweet snack was believed to be an offering to the Kitchen God, with the aim that his mouth will be stuck with the sticky cake, so that he can't badmouth the human family in front of the Jade Emperor.
