Who We Are
In 2013, the Tzu Chi Academy in Miami was established as the 23rd Tzu Chi Academy in the United States. The academy began as a Chinese class to help children of Chinese-speaking parents, many who were Tzu Chi volunteers, learn Chinese. Through years of growing demand and the desire to foster children’s character, the academy became the school we know as Tzu Chi Academy, Miami today.
More than 4,500 students are enrolled across 25 Tzu Chi Academies in the United States. Our current curricula of character education is inspired by Tzu Chi’s main mission: to bring compassion and relief in the face of suffering. To encourage this compassion and the spirit of giving, we know that it is fundamental for children to learn these formative, humanistic lessons at a young age. So, in addition to language lessons that allow students to reconnect with their heritage as well as academic enrichment, we are reinforcing positive character traits and preparing young minds for an increasingly globalized world all at the same time.
All Tzu Chi Academy teachers are experienced individuals dedicated to and passionate about the positive development and growth of all our students. They, along with support staff and administrators, strive to establish an atmosphere of warmth, welcome, and kindness. Parents are encouraged to join the classroom experience, too, and be present as positive role models as their time allows.
Our character education lessons are also deeply rooted in the teachings of Dharma Master Cheng Yen. We make use of her Jing Si Aphorisms, short quotes that demonstrate positive morals, and often use visual aids, storytelling, and interactive activities to teach them.
We also offer enrichment via humanistic education. These include any range of courses from Chinese language, environmental protection, sign language, and folk arts, to education about Tzu Chi.
