YCIS Beijing to celebrate a quarter-century of innovation and excellence.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Yew Chung International School of Beijing (YCIS). Exciting events and activities are planned for our school community to celebrate this landmark event on Friday, Oct 9 at their Honglingjin campus. Since its establishment, the school has evolved significantly but at its core, its values have remained unchanged.
YCIS Beijing is part of a network of schools founded in 1932 in Hong Kong by Madam Tsang Chor-hang, an ardent educator. When she founded the school at the young age of 16 her vision was guided by her values and principles as she sought to offer students a global perspective and to stretch education beyond classroom walls.
