The San Diego Hua Xia Chinese School, the largest language school of its kind in the county, opened a new branch yesterday in Chula Vista, its fourth location in Southern California. The nonprofit weekend program operates in three rented classrooms at Southwestern College. It was just a few months ago that Chula Vista parents petitioned the board of directors of the Hua Xia Chinese School to create a South Bay campus to meet the needs of its growing Asian population. About 40 students showed up for the first day of class along with their parents and grandparents, a much bigger number than anticipated because the Chula Vista branch had recruited solely by word of mouth.
