Yew Chung International School of Shanghai Lingang

Yew Chung International School of Shanghai Lingang (YCIS Lingang) is located on the shore of the beautiful East China Sea beside the landmark artificial freshwater Dishui Lake in Pudong New District of Shanghai. The Lingang New Area will be developed into an innovation hub for education and industry in Shanghai.

YCIS Lingang, as with all other YCIS schools, is committed to raising globally competent and compassionate leaders who have a heart to serve and aspire to and act for a better world. We believe that the core purpose of education for our students is: building character, cultivating deep respect for and understanding of world cultures, mastering Chinese and English languages, as well as having a strong commitment to meeting the challenges of their generation. We aim to nurture our students to develop a global perspective with a mission to bring positive change to society at large.

The school facilities will be very modern and innovative. The building will contain flexible learning spaces in line with our Learning Community model, enabling students to collaborate and maximise their learning opportunities. The new YCIS is conveniently located across the road from the Yew Wah school located in Lingang, providing opportunities for our students to make use of the exceptional facilities there, such as the theatre, sports field, gymnasium, and swimming pool currently being built.

Students starting at the new school can expect all the distinctive aspects of a YCIS education, including our unique ECE model, bilingual programme, character education, violin, and service learning. The students will have access to the rooftop garden and brand-new play equipment and space to nurture interest and creativity. In addition, we will be able to make good use of the nearby Di Shui Lake, Ocean Park, Planetarium, museums, and many other outdoor opportunities, bringing students closer to nature.

Our campus caters for students from Early Childhood Education to Lower Primary and is specifically designed to meet the needs of these children. This campus features:

• Large, bright, flexible classrooms with interactive touchscreen technology to encourage stimulating classroom interaction.
• Air filtration units in the classrooms to provide students with a safe and healthy learning environment.
• An all-weather sports field and several interactive play structures and spaces where children can exercise, run, and play.
• A library that houses a large collection of English and Chinese literature.
• Music and multi-purpose rooms, which provide students with a firm foundation in music, and allows them to learn to express themselves through the performing arts and special assemblies.
• Colourful maker spaces that nurture the student’s creativity in arts and design.
• The new YCIS campus is located across the road from the Yew Wah International Education School of Shanghai Lingang, meaning there will be opportunities for our students to make use of the exceptional facilities there, such as the theatre and sports field, and the new gymnasium and swimming pool.

Our unique Western and Chinese co-leadership model attracts top educators from around the world. While the Co-Principals’ primary focus is on the learning programmes, student welfare, and the leadership of the academic staff, the School Business Manager oversees non-academic areas.

Together, they function as a unified team with overall responsibility for every area of school operation.
