Yew Chung International School of Beijing (YCIS Beijing)

Yew Chung International School of Beijing (YCIS Beijing) has been a cornerstone of the city’s international community since it was established in 1995. Part of the global Yew Chung Education Foundation (YCEF), the school is famous for its pioneering Co-Teaching and Co-Principal models, where one Western and one Chinese educator partner together to lead the school and individual classrooms. This unique approach creates a truly bilingual and bicultural environment, ensuring students achieve high proficiency in both English and Chinese while developing a deep respect for both Eastern and Western cultures.

The curriculum at YCIS Beijing is based on the National Curriculum for England, which is internationalized to suit the school’s diverse student body. In the secondary years, students complete the IGCSE program followed by the IB Diploma Programme. The school places a heavy emphasis on character education and social-emotional learning through its 'Global Perspectives' and service-learning initiatives. This holistic approach ensures that graduates are not only academically prepared for top-tier universities but are also compassionate leaders ready to navigate a globalized world.

Located within the scenic Honglingjin Park, the school offers a green and tranquil learning environment that is rare for central Beijing. The campus features specialized art and music rooms, science laboratories, and extensive outdoor play areas. YCIS Beijing is accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), and it is a certified Cambridge International Examination center.
