Field Trips and Guest Speakers

At YingHua International School (YHIS), we strongly believe that valuable learning extends beyond the conventional classroom setting. As a result, field trips and guest speakers play a vital role in our educational program. These experiences not only allow students to apply their classroom knowledge, but also inspire them to delve deeper into their surroundings through hands-on activities both in local and broader communities. Participating in field trips with YHIS provides our students with opportunities to enhance their language skills in real-world settings.
