Globalisation is turning our world into a village. Technology has propelled and fuelled this change on all levels. People of all ethnicities, faiths, cultures, languages and backgrounds are constantly encountering one another. Economic and political systems are now global in nature.
We believe that global education is the key to continued success for every child. Global education is about the internal transformation of the child. We combine the best of Eastern and Western cultures by promoting fluency in the two major world languages, creating a truly bilingual learning environment and providing excellent role models who respect and value one another's culture. Our unique content and process of education equip students to be bilingual, global-minded, caring and successful individuals. At Yew Chung, education is about more than mastering reading, writing and mathematics. It is about exploring knowledge with an inquisitive attitude, developing capacity for service in the community, learning to make ethical choices, and excelling in extracurricular activities.
Yew Chung has come a long way to build a “through train*” education from infancy through secondary level, culminating with the IB programme, to tertiary stage. As the Yew Chung model is now firmly established through a network of schools in Hong Kong, mainland Chinese cities and Silicon Valley in the USA, we strive to unite the best elements of Eastern and Western traditions and practices, the growth of the individual and the inquiring mind, as well as develop a sense of personal responsibility and social welfare of all.
