Yew Chung International School of Shanghai (YCIS)

YCIS Shanghai is a leading international school recognized for its unique bilingual education model. Established in 1993, it was the first international school officially recognized by the Chinese government. The school's hallmark is its co-teaching model, where one Western and one Chinese teacher share a classroom, providing students with a truly multicultural and dual-language environment from a young age.

The curriculum is based on the National Curriculum for England, adapted for a global context, leading to IGCSE and IB Diploma qualifications. YCIS operates multiple campuses across both Puxi and Pudong. Beyond academics, the school is deeply committed to character education and global citizenship, ensuring students develop a deep understanding of both Chinese and Western cultures.
