Thank you for your interest in CHALK Academy! I am a Harvard-trained pediatrician and writer who is passionate about children’s education.
Although CHALK Academy began as a way to reflect on our family’s trilingual journey, it has grown into a resource and community for multicultural families worldwide.
CHALK Academy has been featured in a variety of popular websites including Cool Mom Picks, Bilingual KidSpot, Happy Tot Shelf, Written Chinese, Miss Panda Chinese, and How We Montessori.
CHALK Academy’s Mission
My hope is that this website can help you:
- Embrace language and culture with your child(ren).
- Be empowered to create a happy and well-rounded learning environment at home or school.
- Find useful Chinese resources for native and non-fluent families (more Korean to come in the future).
- Feel supported by like-minded parents who share the same goals!
