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.

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.
