Principal's Message |
Dear students, parents and teachers,
Welcome to Hope Chinese School eCampus (eHope). Originally founded in 1993, Hope Chinese School is a non-profit, independent school. It provides an educational setting for students to learn the modern Chinese language using Pin-Yin (phonetic writing system) and simplified characters. Our eCampus (eHope) was established in 2022 to continue to provide online education and distanced learning for all.

Spring 2025 is Open for Registration |
Spring 2025 Semester is open! All classes can be found here https://www.hopechineseschool.org/hcsec/ClassInfo.aspx
1. Registration Policy:
All registration must be completed online at
http://www.www.hopechineseschool.org/hcsec/Logon.aspx
. Because we will offer classes through Zoom online, we ask parents and students to register as soon as possible to secure your seats, as we limit the size of many of these classes in order to achieve a good online learning experience.
2. Tuition Payment :
Tuition is due upon registration. We are using Zellel as a new payment method. Families can choose either to mail a check to the school (HCS-EC, 8701 Chapel Dr, Annandale, VA 22003) or pay via Zelle(hcs.ehope@gmail.com). When making the payment, please add your family id in Zelle memo or on check.
The school encourages students to fully pay the tuitions after they register. If a class is full but not all students have paid the tuition, the school will drop the students who have not paid, and make rooms for others.
3. Refund Policy:
Jan. 11 2025 is the 1st day of the school. If students do not wish to continue their classes, they can choose to drop their classes from the registration system and should complete the process by the end of Jan 18, 2025. The school will refund 90% of their paid tuition and credit them back to the family accounts. However, after the Jan. 18, tuition will not be refundable. The deadline is set to give registration team members enough time to process these requests and allow our teachers to be notified. However, families can change their paid classes to any other classes of equal $ value that we offer at eCampus, without any additional charge during the semester. This is to provide the most flexibility and convenience to our eCampus community members.
4. Zoom class invitation:
Zoom class invitations will only be sent to the students who have registered and fully paid tuition. We will not offer free trial classes in the Spring semester. Also, it takes a few weeks for our registration team to process the tuition payment and apply them to the student’s account. Therefore, to receive Zoom class invitations and welcome emails on time, the school must receive tuition payment by 01/05/2025.
5. Textbook Sales-Ma Liping textbook (马立平中文教科书):
Due to classes being offer online, the school will no longer organize a school wide Ma Liping textbook purchase sale. Parents can buy MLP textbooks for the coming school year at
http://www.heritagechinese.com
.
6. Textbook Sales-Jinan and Bilingual Chinese Textbook(暨南 和双语教科书)
The school will group purchase Jinan and Bilingual textbooks, and also organize Kindergarten and 1st grade MLP textbook purchase at the same time. We will need volunteers to handle textbook payment and distribution before the Spring semester starts. If you would like to volunteer, please email our Jinan and Bilingual textbook coordinator via
ehope@hopechineseschool.org .
7. Online Course Parental Consent:
In order to provide your child with the effective tools to enhance their learning, Hope Chinese School (HCS) may use online courses and applications, which would require parental permission for your child to obtain access to the internet. By registering or using such courses and applications, certain personal identifying information, including but not limited to student’s name, phone number, and email address, may be provided to the web site operators. Again by registering your child for any eHope classes, you agree to give your parental consent for our school to use such personal identifying information
for your child in conducting online courses, and other online applications.
By registering any classes for your child from eHope, you also consent to eHope’s collection, use, and disclosure of information about your child through the course registration process and other manual or electronic procedures of the HCSEC and course/application providers. Also understanding that your child is attending online courses and/or using online applications, and that the information collected is needed for online course registration. Your parental consent covers all types of online courses and/or applications, included but not limited to video courses and web-based courses. You also understand that your child’s image may be transmitted during video portions of the online courses and the information supplied to the course provider and eHope may include, but not be limited to: student’s name, phone number, and email address. Since the online courses/applications are web-based, content accessed from home or elsewhere outside the school could put the student in contact with objectionable materials via the internet. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian of the student to restrict any access to materials deemed inappropriate by the parent/guardian. Again, by registering your child for any eHope classes, you hereby consent that all online course content is copyright of eHope, any redistribution or reproduction of part or all of the contents in any form is prohibited including recording (either audio or video) and screenshot.
HCS has taken this necessary step in order to be in compliance with the federal legislation for child protection, including The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA - https://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html) (COPPA https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/media-resources/protecting-consumer-privacysecurity/
