About Us

The CKS Language Center opened its doors in the year 1990. Having started as the Language Learning Laboratory, its primary objective was to encourage the learning of the Chinese language for a better understanding of the Chinese culture.

Today, the CKS Language Center not only continues to offer short Chinese courses but also offers English and Filipino courses to meet the needs of learners who want to become proficient in these languages. Courses for professionals and English speakers are now available to help motivated individuals communicate more effectively and confidently.

It aims to ensure that students learn the language/s of their choice effectively and achieve their learning goals. It provides language training programs that focus on the learner’s relevant needs specifically their daily life, school needs, business, leisure, etc. Whether the objective is to learn a language for fun or out of curiosity, to improve career and business opportunities, to prepare for an interview, or just to learn about Chinese, Filipino and other cultures, the CKS Language Center welcomes you!
