Overview
YCIS Silicon Valley is a welcoming school community where all children from preschool through grade 8 are encouraged to find and follow their gifts as they learn in both Chinese and English. Our goal: to help our students become compassionate, bilingual world learners and leaders.
YCIS Silicon Valley Opens in 2002
YCIS Silicon Valley opened as a non-profit 501(c)3 school with a handful of students in 2002. With the support of dedicated staff and families who believed in our mission, we have grown to serve over 230 students in preschool through grade 8. In 2011, having outgrown our Easy Street campus, a new preschool campus opened a short walk away on East Middlefield Road. With a new facility, we started a new and very popular bilingual program for two year olds. In 2014, the addition of portable classrooms at our Easy Street campus afforded the opportunity to expand into middle school. We welcomed our inaugural 6th Grade class in August 2015. As the only YCIS school in the United States, YCIS Silicon Valley continues to grow as a learning community dedicated to implementing the vision of a Yew Chung global education within an American environment.
Challenging Academics
YCIS students learn with joy, grow with empathy and explore with confidence — in the classroom and beyond. Our challenging, creative curriculum; low student-to-teacher ratio; and small-group learning style will help your child not only become an outstanding academic performer, but also an outstanding human being.
Caring Community
YCIS families and faculty come together to encourage our students to grow into purposeful individuals ready to make a meaningful mark on our world. In this intercultural community, families play an important role as they spark close, lifelong friendships.
Engaged Student Life
YCIS students dream, create, question and embrace new points of view as they experience learning and life. Learning extends beyond the classroom through field trips, school events and traditions, performances, service projects and more.
Bilingual Education
By learning Mandarin and English simultaneously, students develop both language and cultural fluency; become flexible, open thinkers; and sharpen their critical communication skills. Learn more about the benefits of bilingual learning.
Unique Legacy
YCIS is able to provide such a dynamic education, which blends the best of Eastern and Western traditions, thanks to our connection with the YCIS family of international schools.
