Press Release Body = Founded in 1932 by Madame Tsang Chor-hang, Yew Chung Education
Foundation has been in the forefront offering quality bilingual and multicultural
education to learners for more than 70 years. Yew Chung International School of Hong
Kong is one of the international schools of Yew Chung Education Foundation.

With specialization in Early Childhood Education, Yew Chung also provides
competitive learning in Primary as well as Secondary Education. The Yew Chung
International School of Hong Kong has three sections - Early Childhood Education,
Primary School, and Secondary School.

The Early Childhood Education has three programs - Infant and Toddler Learning
Programme, International Kindergarten Programme, and Mainstream Programme. Infant
and Toddler Learning Programme is open to infants and children up to the age of 5
and is specially designed to nurture positive learning vibes in them. The program at
this Chinese international school does not draw a line of distinction between
learning and playing.

Yew Chung\'s Early Childhood Education focuses on nurturing the holistic development
of children\'s potential and abilities with emphasis on intellectual and sensory
enrichment. The core curriculum is thematically designed with a fusion of various
subjects conveyed in a multicultural and dual language environment through games and
structured activities, which will enhance children\'s capability to decode
information generated from their everyday life. In hopes of activating their sensory
acquisition, students are trained to fully exercise different senses like sight,
hearing, smell, taste and touch; and children are encouraged to explore
independently.


Primary School education is aimed at nurturing a good relationship between the
school and students and parents so that the best of education is provided and
materialized. The Yew Chung International School of Hong Kong primary education has
two programs. One is based on the National Curriculum of England and with English as
the instruction medium. It also has an informal curriculum revolving around
co-curricular activities. The overall personality development of the students is
also not neglected.

The other program, Intensive English Programme was developed keeping in mind to take
care of special need of students with non-English background wishing to acquire
sufficient English skills. The programs at this Yew Chung International Schools are
thus flexible and comprehensive.

The programs at this Chinese international school are International General
Certificate of Secondary Education and International Baccalaureate Diploma
Programme. The first program is offered in years 10 and 11 and follows National
Curriculum of England. The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate
moderates this two-year course. A two-year pre-university course, the International
Baccalaureate Diploma Programme exposes students to humanities as well as sciences.
