Admissions

Thank you for considering Bertrand D Hsu American & Chinese Bicultural Academy for your child's education.

We’re here for thoughtful families—no matter your cultural or socio-economic background —who want their children to grow up grounded, capable, and culturally connected. Our mission is to give students a solid foundation for modern life by providing them with a rigorous academic, bicultural and whole child character education.

Unlike many other private schools, we do not give IQ tests to students or require stellar grades and reference letters from previous schools. We believe attitude and commitment matter more than innate talent. We believe a safe and orderly learning environment will help all students learn. Therefore, we only ask for commitment from students to do the work of learning and commitment from parents to support their students in their quest. ​ We believe every child can succeed in their own way, and we will try our best to nurture each and every child to reach their full potential.
