Dear SDHXCS families,
Yesterday we and Xingjian Dance Studio, together with other 4 Chinese American originations, hosted a big PPE donation event, handing out over 15,000 PPEs to over 30 nursing homes and senior livings. Both KUSI and CBS 8 reported the event in their prime-time news. They were impressed by our class funds donation to help the pandemic. Again, thank you all for your support and help during this challenging time. I am looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

Dear SDHXCS families,
I hope you all had a healthy and safe 2020 summer. Back in March when we just switched to remote, I never imaged that we would start our 2020-21 school year with the distance learning mode. Anyway, welcome back to San Diego Hua Xia Chinese School (SDHXCS)! Our staff and teachers have worked tirelessly over the summer to get ready for the new school year. Here we are! The first day of the school year 2020-21 is this coming Sunday (8/30/2020). Attached please find the new school year calendar.
Notes for the first school weeks:
You may also find your class information by login to your student account. The default password is the student’s birthday in the format of YYYYMMDD. Forgotten password can be easily retrieved online.
For new students, you may contact your teacher for the username.
All the information related to registration, transfer, and/or withdrawal can be found on the school website, or by contacting us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
I will see you this Saturday at 7920 Arjons Drive, 92126 parking lot or meet the students virtually this Sunday 8/30!
Cheers!
