YCIS 30th Anniversary in Shanghai, 90 Years in Hong Kong
YCIS Shanghai has a strong, professional, and stable team of teachers. They come from 27 countries around the world, with diverse cultural backgrounds and rich teaching experience. In addition, and more importantly, YCIS teachers maintain a strong bond with YCIS Shanghai. A total of 102 staff have served at YCIS Shanghai for more than 10 years, with an average tenure of five years.
The first Yew Chung School was established in 1932 by founder, Madam Tsang Chor-hang, with a mission of making China stronger through education. At the time, the growing prominence of China in a global context saw educators acknowledging that 'International' is not defined as 'Western.'

The opening of Yew Chung International School of Shanghai took place back in 1993, now their present day Hongqiao Campus.
It was the first independent international school in Shanghai officially recognized by and registered with the Chinese government, and was later joined by four other campuses in Puxi and Pudong.

YCIS Shanghai is a fully-accredited school, recognized by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and the Council of International Schools (CIS), and the only school in China to have received the Cambridge Award for Excellence in Education.
International Curriculum
The school's unique multicultural and bilingual approach to education is recognized worldwide and helps distinguish students in a globally competitive environment.
To cultivate this cultural experience for students, YCIS campuses are led jointly by two Co-Principals: one international and one Chinese.
This system is mirrored in their Early Childhood and Primary classrooms, with their unique Co-Teaching model, which supports the development of students' bilingual and cross-cultural skills.
Academics
YCIS students have always maintained academic excellence, and they are exceptionally proud of how productive, focused, and composed their Class of 2022 has been leading up to their final IBDP, including adding another 45 to the four other perfect scores between 2020-2022. In addition, 50% of graduates obtained the IB Bilingual Diploma!
Several YCIS graduates, who share a bond of growing up almost exclusively in China, will join their alumni in the UK at Cambridge and Oxford University, and also across the pond at Johns Hopkins University, University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, Berkley School of Music and Parsons School of Design.
Sport & Academic Competitions
YCIS accolades go beyond the classrooms, as they have set gold standards in CISSA, SISAC and ACAMIS sports organizations.
Students on both sides of the river participate in external international math competitions (AMC10, Caribou Cup, SASMO, etc.) claiming top in their age brackets and against peers from all around the world.
Focus on Values
YCIS students also develop their appreciation for contributing to society by giving back to their community through service learning initiatives.
One of the key reasons families choose YCIS for their children is the school's commitment to positively guiding each student's morals and values, which will help them make good choices both now and later in life.
Scholarship Opportunities
Yew Chung Yew Wah Education (YCYW) has inaugurated the Scholarship Program to recognize and encourage students who have excelled in academics or other fields. It is designed to create opportunities for students of different backgrounds to receive a quality international education.
Students who received scholarships have demonstrated excellence in different areas, such as being school leaders, role models in the classroom, star athletes on the sports field, passionate musicians, talented writers and being committed to service projects.
Network of Schools - Internal Transfer
All YCIS schools operate under the same educational philosophy, pedagogy and curriculum.
YCIS understand that international families sometimes need to be relocated around China, so make it very convenient for enrolled students to transfer to any school in their network.
YCIS locations include Silicon Valley in California and Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing and Qingdao in China.
