About this school
Yew Chung International School of Hong Kong (YCIS) dates back to 1932, when Madam Tsang Chor-hang founded the first Yew Chung school. The Secondary Section opened in 1993, completing a through-train pathway, and the school is now the flagship of the Yew Chung Yew Wah Education Network, with nine campuses in Kowloon Tong and Tseung Kwan O.
The Secondary Section on To Fuk Road serves students from Year 7 to Year 13. Students follow the National Curriculum for England in Years 7 to 9, take IGCSE courses in Years 10 and 11, and complete the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Years 12 and 13. Bilingual English-Chinese learning remains central, and many students take the IB Bilingual Diploma. A World Classroom overseas learning programme runs for Years 7 to 9, and a careers and university guidance office supports older students.
YCIS is accredited by the Council of International Schools, is a Cambridge examinations centre and an IB World School. Its students come from more than 30 countries and regions, with a schoolwide student-teacher ratio of about 9:1 and over 75 co-curricular activities.
