“I chose YCIS because I liked that the school promotes Co-Teaching partnerships with English and Chinese-speaking teachers working as a team. Together, we create a joyful, bilingual environment to prepare students to become competent in English and Chinese, as well as internationally-minded for a competitive future. I really enjoy working in this big YCIS family.”

“Once I started working at YCIS, I never wanted to leave. YCIS is like a family to me and I love working with everyone here. I feel like I have a purpose coming to school every day in order to make a difference and have a positive impact on my students. At the same time, I never stop learning from my co-workers who are always willing to share and help. The leaders care about the teachers and the teachers care about their students. I am thrilled my son has received an education here at YCIS since preschool.”

“I enjoy working for a preschool with an international setting. I like the fact that the children are immersed in the Eastern and Western cultures whilst acquiring a high proficiency in English and Chinese. Our students gain a new and profoundly deep appreciation of the two spectrums. I truly appreciate our responsibility to provide a diverse learning environment, welcoming students from all backgrounds.”
