Why YCIS

• Unique Blend of East and West
  At the root of our school's philosophy is the blend of two major cultures, of the East and the West. We believe in the benefits of becoming competently bilingual and believe that the real essence of a culture must not just be understood, but truly valued. To cultivate this cultural experience for our students, our campuses are led jointly by two
  Co-Principals
  , one international and one Chinese. They represent the union of the East and West, working closely as partners to oversee their campuses.This system is mirrored in our Early Childhood and Primary classrooms with our unique Co-Teaching model, which supports the development of our students' bilingual and cross-cultural skills. Our vibrant Chinese Studies programme is based upon decades of extensive research and is integrated throughout the school curricula. Enriched with field trips and annual excursions to locations across China, the programme allows our students to develop a deep understanding of, and appreciation for the cultural and historical significance of their host country.
• International Curriculum
  An experienced cohort of educators work in partnership to provide a well-rounded, holistic learning approach for every subject and age group. The result is a unique programme drawing the best practices from around the world, not restricted to a single national curriculum.The mastery of a wide range of skills is very much needed in the workplace today and will be of even greater importance for the next generation. Our education model provides opportunities for our students to develop important skills, such as:Researching
  Critical thinking
  Analysis
  Creativity
  Problem solving
  Collaboration
  The ultimate objective is for our graduates to gain the ability to succeed in an ever-changing, globalised world.
