The K12 Standard Chinese series is an international Chinese language grading textbook for non-native learners in grades K-12, aiming to enable learners to gradually improve their language proficiency in the context of enjoyable stories about modern life in China and traditional Chinese culture. The textbook is aligned with the Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education and the Framework of Reference for Chinese Culture and Society in International Chinese Language Education issued by the Centre for Language Education and Cooperation of the Ministry of Education of China. Following the principle of combining structure-function-culture, this set of textbooks is student-centred and language use-oriented, and combines the 5Cs goals (Communication, Culture, Comparison, Community and Connection) put forward by the American Standards for Learning Foreign Languages in the 21st Century. Designed and written with the concepts of Chinese characters as the foundation, Chinese culture as the body, interest as the basis and grading as the outline, the textbook follows the laws of second language acquisition to set contents in a gradual and orderly manner, forming a closed-loop structure for language and culture teaching.

The K12 Standard Chinese series is written according to the new paradigm of three levels and nine bands proposed in the Grading Standards. Combined with the actual needs of K-12 learners, the grading standard is further refined into five levels and nine bands, forming a spiral structure that goes from basic, elementary, intermediate, advanced, and then top, with the nine levels corresponding to the Grading Standards one by one.
