Our Philosophy
At WenLin Chinese School, we believe learning the Chinese language should not only be about using it as a means of communication, for passing exams, enhancing business opportunities or employment. We believe that students should experience the history, art and beauty of the language so they can better understand and enjoy its exquisite nature. We want our students to fully understand and appreciate Chinese history and culture.
We always aim to provide an environment which is conducive to learning but is also fun and fosters creativity.
At WenLin we are more than just a school: we are a Chinese family.
We are confident that our students will take these values with them out into the world around them. This new Chinese school, located in London, is destined to be a game changer in the lives of its students.
At WenLin, we provide students with unlimited opportunities to network, engage in social and cultural events, explore through field trips, hold fundraising events, and participate in local and international competitions. We do not teach in isolation; we are a family that shares knowledge and has fun doing so.

Our children are the future of our society, and we have set up the school with the firm belief that they will be able to obtain valuable skills and experiences that will assist them in their life’s path.
Longitudinal studies by Harvard University confirm that learning additional languages increases critical thinking skills, creativity and flexibility of the mind in young children.Pupils who learn a foreign language outscore their non-foreign language learning peers in verbal and maths standardised tests, indicating that learning an additional language is a cognitive activity not just a linguistic one.
The brain, like any muscle, functions better with exercise. Learning a language involves memorising rules and vocabulary, which helps strengthen that mental muscle.”
At the age of three and four, our youngest pupils engage in game-like activities and within a short time become familiar with the language that now dominates the international business world.
"I have been impressed with the personalised approach to learning my son receives at WenLin school. The lessons are carefully tailored to his abilities. He loves the supporting materials provided which he finds really engaging. I get great feedback from the school on his progress and his Chinese has come on in leaps and bounds. We are so happy he is investing his time in learning this useful language."
"The character grids help me learn very quickly.... Going to Chinese on Saturdays is so much fun, it is one of the best things about the weekend. It has helped my study of Chinese at school by giving me greater knowledge of stroke order and pronunciation."
"Both our children have been studying Chinese at WenLin Chinese School since they’ve opened. In very short time, my children have learnt how to read and write in Chinese and have developed strong interests in learning Chinese. The school always give us their best attention and effort in teaching our children. I am so pleased to see their progress in learning Chinese. Not only the school principal care so closely on each child’s learning, but also Miss. Gan the class teacoher always chat to us after each class about how our children have learnt in the class and how they did for their homework. They always find best way to help my children to learn. We are very lucky that we live so close to such a good Chinese school. Wish WenLin Chinese will do better and better."
"We were going to China for my children’s Kung Fu training. Rosa kindly offered to help my boys with their Chinese. Wenlin Chinese school was a very good experience for my children. It has made them very interested in languages, and they still talk about how much they liked Rosa and their teachers. I’d highly recommend them to all families."
Haiyun Rosa Wang has an MBA in International Business with a distinction which she obtained at The Birmingham City University in 2003, along with an Honours degree from The University of Hertfordshire. A proud mother of two wonderful boys, she is the founder of WenLin Chinese School which is to be opened in April 2016 and located in London. Though not the first Chinese school in London, it is certainly the first of its kind. Rosa’s vision and determination will transform WenLin into a premier Chinese educational institution where learning is fun. Prior to entering the education sector, Rosa had a successful career in Sales and Marketing for a Global Disney Licensee. She was soon promoted to oversee the sales and business of the Asian Pacific region and Latin America but her love and passion for education would lead her to form WenLin.
Her aim at WenLin is to provide a platform, where well qualified and passionate teachers can deliver high quality education and where students can explore the traditional Chinese culture and the beauty of the Chinese language. She is an avid promoter of traditional Chinese culture and involved in many charities. She is an active volunteer for several charities including the London based Chinese charity: Mother’s Bridge of Love, where she is the PR and Marketing director. This charity has three aims: bridging the gap between the Chinese culture and the rest of the world; bridging the gap between adopted Chinese children and their birth culture and finally, bridging the gap between the rich and poor. Rosa is an events manager at MBL. She is a team leader of the ongoing MBL’s 'Book for kids’ project. The mission of this project is to donate books and libraries to children in need.
