“When I joined the YCIS community in 2006, I was immediately immersed into another world. YCIS is different than the typical school and has taught me a lot about education. It has grown tremendously since and it has been a pleasure watching the program evolve. This is a place where children are encouraged to learn, explore and grow while under the care of nurturing individuals. I have enjoyed many experiences here and have been extremely fortunate to work with amazing colleagues and families who offer never-ending support.”

“I joined YCIS Silicon Valley in 2003. I like YCIS’s uniqueness of blending West and East. A culturally rich world classroom makes school learning much more meaningful and enjoyable. In my years with YCIS, I have witnessed respecting individual learners and promoting multiple-intelligence development to allow each student to develop their own individual talents. At YCIS, I have experienced how a learning community greatly benefits all its members. YCIS students, staff, even our parents and family members are greatly encouraged and supported to seek and explore knowledge, to foster individual and collaborative skills. I enjoy my everyday working, learning and growing at YCIS. We welcome you to join us. We will be very honored to assist your family and guide our young learners as they start their amazing educational journey! See you at YCIS!”
