Thank you, Kevin Locke, for sharing your culture with us! Elementary students were treated to an interactive performance of Native American stories, songs and an amazing Hoop of Life dance.
You belong at Yew Chung International School of Silicon Valley, a welcoming school community where all children from preschool through grade 8 are encouraged to find and follow their gifts as they become compassionate, bilingual world learners and leaders.
Preschool
Preschool is magical at YCIS. Curiosity, wonder and exploration abound in our classrooms, where English and Mandarin teachers work in teams to create a joyful, hands-on learning environment.
Your child will gain confidence and independence, and develop a positive sense of self, as he or she explores the world through engaging, thought-provoking, brain-building experiences.
I love that YCIS is like a big family. I felt comfortable being myself with everyone and I’ve made really close friends that I’ll have for a long time.

Kindergarten
Walk into a Kindergarten classroom and you will discover smiling, laughing curious children asking questions, actively exploring, collaborating and solving problems as they learn to read, write, and express themselves.
At YCIS, the magic happens in two languages. From the moment children walk into class, they are greeted by warm, caring English and Chinese co-teachers who jointly foster their students’ growth and serve as role models for cross-cultural collaboration.
Elementary School
Kindergarten through 5th-grade students begin to learn what it takes to become people of character and integrity — global citizens who will make a difference in our changing world.
Your child will build a strong foundation of life skills as he or she explores personal passions and interests through our challenging, global-minded curriculum.
“YCIS is a warm and intimate community of families and staff where students benefit immensely from strong academics in both Mandarin and English, excellent teachers, a thoughtful character education program, music and art, and an astonishing multitude of relevant, interesting, and diverse activities.”

Middle School
Middle School is where students become future leaders as they prepare for a global world where East meets West.
Your child will grow as a compassionate, ethical individual as he or she develops character, critical-thinking skills and a strong inner moral compass.
My son has been amazingly supported and encouraged to recognize and value his uniqueness. He has a love for languages, and is comfortable communicating in Mandarin.

Summer Camp
A fun, active summer adventure for all! Summer campers from age four to grade 8 explore creative activities in Mandarin and English with arts and crafts, drama, music, sports, science, cooking and more.
Your child will build self-confidence, make new friends, enrich language skills and grow cultural awareness while delving into unique thematic experiences.
Summer camp teachers have incredible depth, not only in Chinese language, but also in the art of facilitating happiness.
