Fremont Chinese School (FCS) was founded in 1972, and is entering its 43-year this year. In the very beginning, it was a home school with little more than 10 students, established by parents who wanted their children to learn about their heritage. After 42 years, with the effort and support by all parents, now the school has close to 700 students. FCS is a non-profit educational organization; the administration staffs are entirely made up by the parents of the enrolled students of the school, where majority of the students reside in the Fremont area. The School operates on Saturdays from 9am to 1pm, on the campus of Irvington High School in Fremont.
