Why should parents consider choosing YingHua International School for their children?
1. Bilingual Fluency
YHIS is committed to ensuring its graduates are highly proficient in two world languages: English and Chinese.
2. A Global Perspective
YHIS is committed to its mission to develop global citizenship. YHIS offers units of inquiry that are internationally focused, which are a pillar of the curriculum, alongside Chinese immersion. The diversity of the families also makes YHIS a uniquely rich learning community.
3. Study Abroad
YHIS is closely connected to YingHua Language School, a CSS-MSA accredited community school founded in 2002 that offers excellent opportunities for studying abroad. Since 2004, Dr. Bonnie Liao has designed and directed "YingHua in Beijing," a Summer Language & Leadership Institute that provides 4-week, in-depth learning opportunities to American youth ages 8 and up. Since 2005, the "YingHua in Beijing Honors Program" has been sending students in Grades 4-9 to live and study in Beijing for one semester (20 weeks). Having benefited from dual language education from a young age, YHIS students are uniquely positioned to make the most out of these life-changing experiences.
4. Lifelong Learning
YHIS is committed to cultivating a community of lifelong learners - which includes both students and teachers - through offering a rigorous, inquiry-based curriculum and a wide variety of specialty courses that are designed to broaden students' interests as well as to inspire their passion for mastery in a chosen field.
