At Yew Chung International School, East
meets West in a learning community that
feels like family. With low student-to-teacher
ratios and small classes, children are truly
known and their individual interests and talents
cultivated. Working in tandem, English
and Mandarin teachers combine the best
of Eastern and Western cultures, perspectives
and styles to create the optimal learning
environment. Students think beyond
themselves and gain a global perspective,
emerging as compassionate, confident, critical
thinkers. They are academically challenged
and creatively engaged and grow
their minds as well as their hearts. With core
subjects taught in English, programs include
Chinese studies, violin (beginning in kindergarten),
music, visual art, and character
education with physical education rounding
out the curriculum. YCIS prepares students
for success in the best Bay Area secondary
schools and beyond.
