匹兹堡中华文化语言学院，是一个创建于2012年，致力于传扬中华文化的非营利性机构。我校位于匹兹堡市北郊。刚开始由七位热心人士组织，仅成立了一个中文学习班，地点就设在一位发起人的家中。之后几个月里，应许多家长要求，报名入学的学生越来越多。承蒙当地一个基督教会的支持，周末免费为学院提供教室，学校因此有了固定的上课场地。

匹兹堡中华文化语言学院针对对中华教育有兴趣的青少年和成人开设语言课。我们根据学生的能力水平选择合适的教材和补充材料。为了保证教学质量，我校一直坚持小班制。在教授语言的过程中，老师们注重传承中华文化，而又兼容并包。东方和西方的文化传统，古代和现代的文化素材都会在我们的教学中有所体现。鉴于学校设在美国这样非华语的应用环境中，中文是非主流课程，我们创造了平面教学和立体教学相结合的方法，强调学以致用，提升学生在未来世界的竞争力。每年匹兹堡地区组织的华人社区活动，我们学校都会积极参与，让学生们有亲身体验中华文化的机会。

在美国办中文学校任重道远。我们感谢走在我们前面的许多先导者、领路者，留给我们许多有益的经验和借鉴。我们感谢老师们的辛苦付出，感谢家长们的全力支持，感谢同学们的认真参与。我们也感谢社会各界人士的热心资助。我们会不断探讨不断改进，让更多人熟悉中华传统，了解中华文化。 

The Pittsburgh Academy of Chinese Culture and Language (PACCL) was founded in 2012, by seven Chinese-born individuals who wanted to introduce and celebrate Chinese culture in the Northern suburbs of the city of Pittsburgh. The school expanded rapidly - from holding only one class in one of the founder's basement, to hosting several levels of classes at a local facility provided generously by the North Hills Reformed Presbyterian Church.

The goal of PACCL is to promote and preserve Chinese culture through teaching of the Mandarin language, as well as the Chinese cultural traditions. We welcome students of all ages. To ensure the quality of the lessons, the school maintains low student-teacher ratio for each class. In addition to lectures in the classrooms, all students are encouraged to learn the culture and language through participating in various community events.

In 2022, the school celebrated its 10th anniversary with students, teachers, parents, and many community friends. We are grateful for the support we have received through out the years. We hope more will join us to celebrate the beauty of the Chinese culture and language.
