In Primary, YCIS uses a version of the English National Curriculum adapted for an international context. This includes integrating Chinese, Chinese Culture, and character education into the curriculum.

Secondary students follow a tailored Lower-Secondary curriculum in Years 7–9 and complete the IGCSE programme and International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBDP) for the last four years of their schooling. Known for its academic rigour, the IB equips students with the skills needed for future success and diploma holders have the opportunity to study in world-class universities.

Co-teaching involves having two teachers in the classroom—one international and one Chinese—to represent the two different cultures. Both are fully qualified from their respective countries and have extensive teaching experience. Co-teaching is much more than a simultaneous translation or having an assistant in the classroom. The co-teachers plan and deliver the curriculum by working closely together. This gives children an excellent model for cooperation and respect, and an opportunity to absorb and appreciate the best elements of both Eastern and Western educational practices and cultures.
