YCIS curriculum overview

YCIS Hong Kong's international curriculum is based on the framework and schemes of work from the National Curriculum for England (NCE). It is a research-based curriculum that strives to unite the best elements of Eastern and Western traditions and practices in all aspects of its education model. Yew Chung International School – Secondary is fully accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS). In addition, the secondary school is authorised as a Cambridge International Examinations Centre (CIE) and as an International Baccalaureate World School (IBO).

Students learn to read, write and speak fluent Mandarin Chinese through curricula tailored for both native and non-native speakers. The Chinese Language and Culture Programme runs from kindergarten all the way through to graduation and helps students attain a strong command of the Chinese language after two to three years. YCIS Hong Kong offers CFL (Chinese and a First Language) and CAL (Chinese as an Additional Language) classes, each with multiple levels, to ensure that students receive an appropriately challenging Chinese-language course.

Within each kindergarten and primary school classroom, two fully qualified co-teachers, one Western and one Chinese, work together and share all responsibilities relating to the care and education of students in the class. They plan and work together to provide students with a variety of learning experiences and help students develop English and Chinese communication skills in a bi-cultural and fully immersive bilingual environment.

YCIS Hong Kong provides the popular and academically challenging curriculum for Years 10-11 culminate in the International General Certificate for Secondary Education (IGCSE) examinations.

The IB Diploma Programme at YCIS Hong Kong offers an exemplary international education that equips students to make informed choices and contributions as caring global citizens of the world. Graduates excel to enter top universities around the world.

Character education

The aim of YCIS Hong Kong's Character Education programme is to give students the practical knowledge and skills to help them face the ethical, moral, spiritual, social, and cultural issues of adulthood by reflecting on their experiences in real world situations. It helps them understand and responsibly manage a wider range of relationships as they mature, and teaches them the respect for diversity that is needed in today's "global village." Beyond lesson time, students also find aspects of character education in assemblies, group activities, and across many charity events, which aim at helping them accomplish inner transformation.^[14]
