About this school
Yew Chung International School of Hong Kong (YCIS) traces its history to 1932, when Madam Tsang Chor-hang opened the first Yew Chung school. The formal international primary school was set up in 1987, and YCIS is now the flagship of the Yew Chung Yew Wah Education Network, with nine campuses in Kowloon Tong and Tseung Kwan O serving children from six months to 18 years.
The Primary Section, based on Kent Road and Somerset Road in Kowloon Tong, teaches students from Year 1 to Year 6. Learning is bilingual in English and Chinese, and the school uses a co-teaching model in which Western and Chinese teachers share classrooms and leadership. Students move on to the YCIS Secondary Section for the IGCSE and the IB Diploma.
- Ages and years: Year 1 to Year 6, within a through-train school from early childhood to Year 13
- Community: students from more than 30 countries and regions, staff from over 20 nationalities
- Accreditation: Council of International Schools (CIS); IB World School for the Diploma Programme
