Hanlexon for Chinese Schools is the integrated classroom platform for US heritage Chinese schools, weekend programs, and AP Chinese classrooms. The platform aligns with the Ma Liping, Jinan (暨南) Chinese, and Meizhou (美洲华语) textbook series used by CSAUS and NCACLS member schools, supports both simplified and traditional characters, and feeds directly into AP Chinese exam preparation (where 72 percent of takers are heritage speakers). Pricing is sized for heritage school budgets and quoted per school. FERPA-compliant with signed Data Privacy Agreements on school plans.
Built for heritage curricula
Hanlexon natively supports the textbook series US heritage Chinese schools actually teach — not just the HSK frame used in adult test prep.
Ma Liping (马立平)
11-level series (K–9 plus AP), Direct Character Recognition approach, no pinyin for the first 3 years. Used by mainland-origin schools.
Jinan Zhongwen (暨大中文)
12-volume series commissioned by China's Overseas Chinese Affairs Office. Standard in many CSAUS schools.
MeiZhou Chinese
ACTFL 5Cs + Pre-AP aligned. Used by AP-track heritage programs.
Better Chinese
Common Core / ACTFL-aligned series used widely in US public and private K-8 Chinese programs.
Integrated Chinese
The standard textbook series for US high school and college Chinese programs.
Traditional + zhuyin support
NCACLS-affiliated schools (Taiwan-origin tradition) get traditional characters and bopomofo (zhuyin) input.
AP Chinese pipeline
About 72 percent of AP Chinese test-takers are heritage speakers (College Board 2025). The heritage curriculum feeds directly into AP exam preparation without re-teaching basics. With the May 2027 transition to the digital Bluebook format, students need practice on the typed-character input, on-screen reading, and recorded speaking responses that the new exam requires — exactly what Hanlexon provides.

Can we use Hanlexon for AP Chinese prep?
Yes. About 72% of AP Chinese takers are heritage speakers, so the heritage curriculum feeds directly into AP exam preparation. Hanlexon covers all four exam sections and mirrors the May 2027 digital Bluebook format. See the AP Chinese exam prep page.
Is Hanlexon FERPA-compliant for our school?
Yes. Hanlexon is FERPA-compliant and provides signed Data Privacy Agreements on school plans. COPPA and SOPPA requirements are also addressed. Both simplified and traditional characters are supported.
How do we trial before committing?
Individual teachers can create a class, import a roster, and explore the full library at no cost. We recommend one or two teachers trial it for a semester first, then your board evaluates the school plan, which unlocks saving, assigning, and printing for every seat.
Do you support traditional characters and Taiwan MOE standards?
Yes. Simplified, traditional, Hong Kong, and Taiwan character variants are all supported. NCACLS-affiliated schools (Taiwan-origin tradition, traditional + zhuyin/bopomofo) and CSAUS-affiliated schools (mainland-origin, simplified + pinyin) are both fully supported.
