Yew Chung International School of Beijing

YCIS Beijing opened in 1995 with the aim of bringing the educational philosophy, objectives and pedagogy of Yew Chung to Beijing's expatriate families. YCIS Beijing is a fully accredited school, recognised by the Council of International Schools (CIS). In addition, the Secondary School is authorised as an accredited Cambridge International Examinations Centre and International Baccalaureate World School (IB World School).

At Yew Chung International School of Beijing (YCIS Beijing), we are renowned for offering one of the most progressive and globally-minded programmes of international education in China. YCIS Beijing is considered a leading international school in Beijing. The school's unique multicultural and bilingual approach to education is recognised globally, and is just one of the features that sets the school apart from others.

Our unique Co-Teaching Model is implemented throughout Early Childhood and Primary year levels, which best supports the development of bilingual and cross-cultural skills. Our vibrant Chinese Studies course, whose design is based upon extensive research, is integrated into the school curricula. Enriched with annual excursions to locations across China, the programme develops students' cultural and historical appreciation of as well as a comprehensive portfolio of knowledge about their host country.

An experienced cohort of educators works in partnership to provide a well-rounded, holistic learning approach for every subject and age group. The result is a unique programme drawing the best practices from around the world not restricted to a single national curriculum.

The attainment of a strong grasp of soft skills is very much needed in the workplace today and will gain only greater importance for the next generation. Our researchers ensure our education model brings opportunities to the classroom to hone skills like:

• Research Ability
• Critical Thinking
• Analysis
• Creativity
• Problem-solving
• Collaborative Working

The ultimate objective is for our graduates to gain the ability to succeed in an ever-changing globalised world throughout their adulthood.

At Yew Chung International School of Beijing, we offer an exciting range of Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) run by various professional sport coaches. We have three rounds of CCAs per year. All clubs are run on a first come first served basis, and each lasts for 8 weeks at a time. Making sure children have lots of opportunities to be active and exercise is a key ethos at YCIS, and we encourage all children to take part in CCAs throughout the year.
