Yew Chung International School of Beijing (YCIS Beijing) is an International School in Beijing, for expatriate students aged 2 -18 years old (K2 to Year 13). The school was established in 1995 and is one of the international schools in China to hold the accreditation through Council of International Schools (CIS). The campus is situated in Honglingjin Park, offering education from Early Childhood to Upper Secondary.

Early Childhood

Fundamental skills and whole-child development.
At YCIS, students aged two to four are immersed in a supportive, bilingual learning environment, where Chinese and international teachers work together with parents to develop confident, caring, and curious young learners. The focus in these early years is on whole-child development, building character and instilling personal and social values that will support students for life.

Primary

A project-based, student-centred approach.
YCIS primary students master core international curriculum by connecting classroom questions to real-world problems. Our positive, nurturing, and compassionate environment empowers students and teaches integrity, honesty, and respect.

Our primary students become more independent and gain the perspective that authentic learning is more than memorising texts and formulae. Working through actual scenarios and issues and taking a hands-on approach in their everyday studies means, they won’t just know the facts, but they will also seek to understand and internalise them.

Secondary

A whole-student approach to curriculum.
On their path to university, YCIS secondary students journey through the Yew Chung Curriculum (Years 7-9) – a bilingual, international curriculum written by experts from the Curriculum and Professional Development Division, the International General Certificate of International Education (IGCSE) Programme (Years 10-11), and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) (Years 12-13).
