Many Chinese and Taiwanese parents in the United States see benefits of Chinese schools in providing their children the opportunity to learn Chinese culture and language. The results of this qualitative study involving interviews with thirteen Chinese and Taiwanese parents indicated that there were three main reasons why parents want to send their children to Chinese schools. They are (1) maintenance of heritage language and culture, (2) perspectives of bilingualism, and (3) value of Chinese heritage school. (ContainsAC 2 tables.)
