Campus & Facilities
Welcome to Yew Chung International School of Shanghai (YCIS Shanghai), a world-class school where students discover the joy of learning for life. Offering excellence in learning, a myriad of Co-Curricular Activities, and the very best in school services is our passion and purpose. We consider and care about every aspect of the educational experience and nurture the unique abilities and talents of every child.
YCIS Shanghai campuses are more than just places of education. They provide the best possible environment for students to exercise their minds and bodies, engage in artistic pursuits, build social skills, and enhance their sense of belonging - all in a multicultural setting. Each campus embodies the unique spirit and philosophy of YCIS.
As the international population in Shanghai has grown over the years, so have our campuses. We now have multiple campuses on both sides of the Huangpu River in order to provide a world-class educational experience for children aged 2-18 all across the city.
YCIS Campuses in Puxi
The Puxi ECE (Ronghua) Campus serves for children aged 2 to 5. This award-winning, LEED® Gold-certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) campus opened in 2018 and features an innovative, purpose-built Learning Communities design.
As the longest-established independent international school in Shanghai, YCIS has developed a recognised reputation for academic excellence and for helping to develop well-rounded, globally-minded students. Given the demand for our Early Childhood Education (ECE) programme, YCIS Shanghai opened our state-of-the-art ECE (Ronghua) Campus in 2018 in Puxi chiefly for our youngest learners, aged 2 – 4.
The Puxi ECE (Ronghua) Campus was designed by Fielding Nair International, a highly renowned architectural firm which specialises in the development of world-class learning spaces for children. Featuring a Learning Community structure, classrooms at this purpose-built facility are constructed using flexible layouts that can change according to classroom activities and needs. This supports an agile learning environment where students engage in collaborative, community, and small group settings.
In February 2018, the campus was awarded the prestigious Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). It is notable that this campus is the very first school campus in all of Shanghai to receive a LEED award. This certification requires a technically rigorous process, including the incorporation of environmentally-friendly building materials to achieve an efficient and healthy indoor environment.
The campus includes a range of features:
- Large, bright, modifiable classrooms with interactive Smartboard technology to encourage stimulating classroom interaction
