As a YCIS Silicon Valley student, your child will have the unique opportunity to
learn with joy, grow with empathy and explore with confidence in a bilingual,
intercultural community from preschool through grade 8.
By learning two world languages simultaneously — Mandarin and English — your child will develop both language and cultural fluency; become a flexible, open thinker; and sharpen his or her critical communication skills.
Your child will not only become an outstanding academic performer, but also an outstanding human being. YCIS students develop compassion, empathy and a strong moral compass as they learn to excel in a competitive world.
Our low student-to-teacher ratio and small group learning style will encourage your child to grow creatively through the arts and music, develop sought-after leadership skills and service, and explore his or her unique gifts.
As a YCIS student, your child will learn to care deeply for the world and its people. This legacy of service, which began with the school’s founding in Hong Kong more than 80 years ago, lives on through student service work and community involvement.
The dynamic YCIS education — which blends Eastern and Western language, cultures and worldviews — is continuously advancing thanks to our connection with the YCIS family of international schools.
