The Chinese School Amsterdam is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to Chinese language education in the Netherlands. We support Chinese heritage youth and learners from diverse backgrounds, encouraging them to integrate into Dutch society while standing out with confidence. We believe Chinese is more than a language — it is a bridge to culture, identity, and global opportunities. Het logo van CSA is opgebouwd uit afbeeldingen en tekst. Het beeld is gebaseerd op een kasteel dat Chinese en westerse elementen combineert, wat de culturele basis van de studenten symboliseert. De Nederlandse molen is de torenspits van het kasteel, waarin de Nederlandse kenmerken en het streven naar uitstekende kwaliteit van de school zijn terug te vinden. De tekst is samengesteld uit geel (blauw), rood en oranje, die de gele gezichten van Chinese mensen vertegenwoordigen, de trotse achtergrond van Chinees rood en het oranje symbool van Nederland. Kortom, het logo laat de schoolfilosofie en visie van de Chinese scholieren zien om wortel te schieten in de Chinese cultuur en te bloeien in de Nederlandse samenleving. |

The CSDH adopts the European Chinese Curriculum (EC²) curriculum system.
The European Chinese Curriculum is a European Chinese language education curriculum system designed based on the European Common Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), combining the characteristics of the Chinese language and the regulation of children's brain development. The system fully considers the sensitive period of children's language learning and the separation of "language" and "text" in Chinese, helping learners to smoothly cross the "from speaking to writing" and "from literacy to reading" in Chinese learning; at the same time, it combines game-based teaching and immersive learning methods to "let children fall in love with Chinese, let children master Chinese, and let children excel because of Chinese."
