Yew Chung International School (YCIS) operates multiple campuses across China and Hong Kong, with the Beijing campus in the Chaoyang District. The school's founding philosophy is Chinese-English co-principal education: each class is taught by two homeroom teachers, one Chinese-speaking and one English-speaking, working in partnership throughout the school day.

This model means students receive genuine dual-language exposure from the earliest years without the curriculum being divided between two separate language streams. The approach is particularly valued by families with a Hong Kong connection or those who see long-term professional or personal ties to the Chinese-speaking world.

YCIS Beijing offers the Cambridge IGCSE pathway in secondary and the IB Diploma in Sixth Form. The student body is a mix of expatriate children and international families — with a significant proportion of Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwanese-origin families adding to the community's Chinese-speaking depth.

Admission requires a foreign passport. The school accommodates children at various stages of English or Mandarin acquisition; its co-teacher model is well-suited to simultaneous language development.
