As background, Newton Cantonese School (NCS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has existed since 1978. Its goal is to teach the Cantonese dialect, reading and writing of the Chinese language, and celebrate Chinese culture. The school’s Saturday language program currently enrolls 150 students, ranging from ages 5 to 15 years old. As the only Cantonese-focused language school in Massachusetts, the program connects a widespread community of Newton residents and families across the state, including inner city Boston and towns an hour away.
