The Institute of Chinese Culture
The Institute of Chinese Culture (ICC), established in 1970, is Houston’s first Chinese language school. ICC began its first classes at Rice University and used the university facilities until September 1988 when ICC was relocated to the Clarewood campus in southwest Houston. The Clarewood campus was situated in a 36 unit apartment complex on an acre of land.
The Clarewood campus was destroyed in a fire in 1995. However the school was able to continue to operate from facilities generously provided by Southwest College of the Houston Community College System.
The school purchased its current Westoffice campus in March of 1997. The first classes at the new campus started on August 1, 1997.
中華文化學院成立於1970年，是休士頓地區第一所中文學校。學校成立之初是借用萊斯大學的教室與設備來上課。直到1988年才將學校從萊斯大學遷到休士頓西南區具有36戶工寓的Clarewood校舍。
1995年Clarewood校舍毀於一場大火。幸得休士頓社區大學西南學院慷慨借與校舍，才使學校的教務才不致中斷。
本校在1997年三月簽約購買了現在位於Westoffice的校舍並於同年的八月一日開始在新校園上課。
