The Li-Ming Chinese Academy (LMCA) is a non-profit school established in the spring of 1995. The School aims to develop students’ proficiency in Chinese language and foster cultural awareness through classroom instruction, peer interaction and participation in team activities. LMCA was founded on these principles: nurture physical and emotional well-being of students; establish a participatory administrative system; and provide a harmonious environment where students, parents, teachers and staff can learn and grow together.
