Closure of Edinburgh Chinese School

Dear Parents/Guardians/Students,

RE: Closure of Edinburgh Chinese School

We are writing to inform you of a decision that was not made lightly but is necessary to communicate. Due to financial challenges and low enrolment, we regret to inform you that Edinburgh Chinese School will be closing its doors permanently effective on 1st July 2024.

This decision has been incredibly difficult for us, as we understand the impact it will have on our students, alumni, and their families. We are deeply saddened to have to say goodbye to a community that has become like family over the last 50 years in Edinburgh.

Since 1971, Edinburgh Chinese School has been dedicated to providing high-quality Chinese language education and Chinese cultural activities to our students and the community, and it has been a privilege to be a part of their language learning journey. However, despite our best efforts, we have encountered different challenges after pandemic that have made it increasingly difficult to sustain the operations of the school.

Once again, we extend our sincerest gratitude to you for your support of Edinburgh Chinese School. It has been an honour serving you and your children, and we will cherish the memories we have created together.

Sincerely,

Edinburgh Chinese School

愛丁堡中文學校停辦公告

因應近年資金及收生不足等因素影響,經學校董事會慎重考慮下,我們很遺憾地宣佈,愛丁堡中文學校將於 2024年7月1日 起永久停辦。

這個決定對我們來說非常艱難,因為我們明白到,這將會令我們的學生、舊生及其家人造成影響。對於要告別過去50年來,在愛丁堡像家人般的社區,我們深感無奈和惋惜。

自1971年成立以來,愛丁堡中文學校一直致力為我們的學生提供優質的中文語言教育,及為社區舉辦各類中華文化活動 。能成為一眾學生語言學習旅程及成長的一部分,是我們的榮幸。然而,儘管我們盡了最大的努力,但疫情後迎來各種的困難,令我們難以繼續維持學校的運作。

在此,學校衷心感謝各家長、老師和學生對愛丁堡中文學校一直以來的支持。能為您以及您的孩子服務是我們的榮幸,我們將會珍惜我們一起創造的回憶。
