办学宗旨:

新泽西明慧中文学校桥水镇分校为非盈利性组织，成立于2005年秋季，是面向全社会的中文学校。本校拥有师德高尚、经验丰富并乐于付出的教师团体。本校实施中文、中国传统文化和道德等教育，以多元的教学方法传播中国神传文化丰富的内涵，开发学生的智慧潜能；以民族古老的道德文化补充和完善现代学生的品德教育，培养品学兼优、德才兼备的优秀人才。

教学特点:

中文课和中国传统文化课是两门独立而又相关的必修课，但教学内容和形式又各具特色。中文学习是学生对中国传统文化了解的基础，中国传统文化的丰富内涵又提高了学生学习中文的兴趣。

中文课实行小班教学，类似古私塾的教学形式。我们采取了传统识字的教学方法，着重学习汉字的起源、结构、笔顺及汉语拼音。除教学生认读写字外，还逐字解释字的涵义，并鼓励他们组词、造句，活学活用所学的字词。这样不仅培养学生对中文学习的兴趣，而且使其学到了系统的中文知识，为他们进一步学习中文打下了扎实的基础。例如，对有趣的儿歌，谜语，故事等，先带读，再从笔画、笔顺入手教写字，进而让学生了解汉字的偏旁、部首，以掌握汉字的读音、结构与内涵。如今像滚雪球一般，学生们认识了很多字，而且对学习中文的兴趣越来越高。

中国传统文化课以加强道德教育为重点。我们的教材选材严谨，独具特色而文质兼美。我们采取孩子喜闻乐见的讲故事，念儿歌等形式多样的授课方式，以丰富有趣的内容，简明生动的语言，活泼有序的形式，谈古论今，从盘古开天地等神话故事，到华夏的辉煌历史，各朝代璀灿的文化，让在美国成长的中国孩子和对中国文化有兴趣的其它国家的学生了解中国的神传文化和传统道德规范。

Mission:

Ming Hui Chinese School is a bilingual Chinese school, which accepts students of various ages and various cultural backgrounds. Based on the principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance", we provide students with the lovely learning environment to learn the Chinese language, the profound traditional Chinese culture, Chinese history, and traditional Chinese moral values. Both the traditional Chinese culture and its moral values are very important components in our teachings that distinguish the Ming Hui Chinese School from others. The students from Ming Hui Chinese School are expected to respect and care for others, to be honest, and to behave themselves while enhancing their knowledge in the Chinese language and Chinese culture.

Teaching Characteristic:

This is a very special group of people who are very kind and had a lot of teaching experiences. Some are the veteran teachers who devoted their whole life in teaching. Some are currently full time teachers in other schools. We also have young teachers who have had bilingual language training. Most important, our teachers cherish the Traditional Chinese Divine Culture very much and they are willing to devote their time to teach and motivate our young generation to learn the Chinese Language and to cherish and benefit from the Traditional Chinese Culture.

In addition to teaching our students to recognize and to write Chinese characters, we also teach them the history and the culture behind the characters. This lays a very good foundation for their further study in the Chinese language and its culture.
