About this school
Yew Chung International School of Hong Kong (YCIS Hong Kong) traces its roots to 1932, when Madam Tsang Chor-hang founded the first Yew Chung School, offering early childhood and primary education with a bilingual approach blending Eastern and Western teaching. Her daughter, Dr Betty Chan Po-king, later introduced "learning through play". The international primary school was formalised in 1987 and a secondary section followed in 1993, creating a full through-train pathway.
Today YCIS Hong Kong educates children from 6 months to 18 years across eight campuses in Kowloon Tong and one in Tseung Kwan O. It is the flagship school of the Yew Chung Yew Wah Education Network and a member of the non-profit Yew Chung Education Foundation. Key features include:
- Bilingual English and Chinese teaching, with Western and Chinese co-teachers and co-principals
- A student body from more than 30 countries and regions, and faculty from over 20 nationalities
- CIS accreditation, Cambridge IGCSE examinations and the IB Diploma, including the IB Bilingual Diploma
- Over 75 co-curricular activities
The Kent Road site is one of the school's Kowloon Tong primary campuses, used for Upper Primary.
