千橡中文學校成立於1975年。創設之初只有8位學生，由王懋德老師一人擔任教學，租賃 Waverly Adult School 校舍一間開始。至1989年學生人數驟增，校舍不敷使用，轉而租借紅木中學 (Redwood Intermediate School) 校舍。由於學生人數不斷的增加，1998年一月千橡中文學校遷移到千橡高中 (Thousand Oaks High School)，一直延用至今。除了教授基本語文課程外，本校並提供各種選修課程及文化活動。近年來不但繼續努力於校務行政及教學課程之改進，更致力於主流社會之聯繫，爭取學區及此間社區對中文學校的支持，積極參與文化活動，對外介紹中國文化，邀請學區及地方人士到校參觀，對內則以加強各式活動，改善課程水準，集結華人的力量，共同為華語教育而努力。

Thousand Oaks Chinese School (TOCS) was founded in 1975. In the very beginning there were only eight students, taught by Mr. Mao-De Wang. The school started in a classroom rented from Waverly Adult School. In 1989, the number of students increased drastically and the old campus became too small to accommodate the students. The campus was then moved to Redwood Intermediate School. In January 1998, TOCS moved again to Thousand Oak High School, where it has been the campus ever since. In addition to basic curriculum on Chinese language, TOCS also offers a variety of cultural programs and activities to the students. In the recent years, our missions have been to improve curriculum and administration, enhance communication with mainstream society, gain support from local school districts and local community, and participate enthusiastically in various cultural activities. Externally, our activities include introducing Chinese culture to the local community, and inviting school district and community members to visit the school. Internally, the main focus is to strengthen programs offered to the students, enhance the curriculum level, and rally all the Chinese-Americans to contribute to the Chinese language education.
