Edinburgh Chinese School was founded in 1971 and is a registered charity. It has a history of 33 years and for over 10 years, it has been situated at Drummond Community High School.

Since the beginning, the school has promoted the learning and teaching of the Chinese language and continues on at present. As well as this, the school also promotes Chinese culture & its rich heritage to the community and the younger generation through the vast range of clubs and extra-curricular activities.

Over the years, Edinburgh Chinese School has established a good reputation in the community and is now a preferred choice of students for learning the Chinese language and culture.

In July 2001, the school was honoured to be invited to attend a reception in the presence of Her Majesty The Queen at the City Chambers in order to celebrate 30 years of Chinese Education in Edinburgh.
