Welcome to Yew Chung International School of Chongqing (YCIS Chongqing). We are delighted that you are considering enrolling your child with our school.

Our purpose at YCIS Chongqing is to assist students with their transition from one country or one education system to another, to provide high quality education and to introduce students to the fascinating cultural and historical heritage of our host country.

Our students study a truly unique research-based international curriculum that merges the best of Eastern and Western traditions and provides students with an authentic immersion into Chinese culture within an international framework. This allows us to approach the study of world issues from a global perspective, foster cultural respect and develop fluency in two major languages of the 21st century. We place great value on character development and provide a wide range of activities such as arts, drama, music, sports and leadership opportunities to capture a child’s interest at all levels. This is what we refer to as “global education”.

As the world changes and faces globalisation, we pride ourselves on preparing our students to become adaptable, multilingual global citizens fully prepared to emerge into positions of great worth within society.

Thank you for considering YCIS Chongqing as your endeavours to fully prepare your child for a competitive multicultural world.
