Happy Chinese
Happy Chinese is suitable for children and teenagers who are native speakers of English. The course content (topics, Chinese characters, words, grammar, cultural points, etc.) and exercises (listening, speaking, reading, writing, and other language skills training) are set with reference to the Chinese syllabus and examination syllabus for primary and secondary schools in some English-speaking countries. The course has been systematically optimized to meet the needs of basic communication and the characteristics of classroom teaching. This course is suitable for teenagers from overseas who do not have a Chinese language environment, to improve their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. The curriculum is based on the world's most authoritative "IB curriculum" standards and is benchmarked against the HSK examinations and the International Baccalaureate examinations, and adopts an international education model to achieve mastery of native Chinese.

OUR GOALS
From the time we began to formally state our operational goals, Customer Satisfaction has always been #1. There aren't many companies in our industry that measure Customer Satisfaction, so we benchmark with the best internet companies in America and I am pleased to say we are right there with them.
Great Customer Satisfaction is no accident; it's the result of planned and methodical execution of all things important - of listening to Customers and of continuously improving. At Statearms, we became ISO 9001 registered in 2008, adopted the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award Criteria in 2006 and set a goal to apply for and improve enough to receive the award in 2009. We applied for and received the Missouri Quality Award (a Baldrige-criteria state program) in 2008, and applied for and received the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 2009, meeting the goal we set in 2006. Statearms's journey of continuous improvement doesn't end there; in 2015 they earned, for a second time, both the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and Missouri Quality Award. Those of you in management, engineering or operations know the significance of ISO and Baldrige to Customer Satisfaction.
