Yew Chung Education Foundation

The Yew Chung Education Foundation (YCEF) is a registered non-profit association in Hong Kong, and the school sponsoring body of Yew Chung International School of Hong Kong (YCIS) and the Yew Chung College of Early Childhood Education (YCCECE). YCIS is the first homegrown and original international school in Hong Kong, and YCCECE is Hong Kong's first specialist institute in early childhood education. With the two networks of schools, the Foundation create a virtuous cycle of quality education in Hong Kong and beyond, beginning with the child in mind. We are above all committed to equipping students with an inner moral compass, empowering them to take the helm and steer through human complexities with honesty, compassion and confidence. We also strive to further contribute to society by nurturing passionate and innovative early childhood educators at the tertiary level, who can advocate and bring about improvement in the field, giving future generations a strong positive start. With its sister institutions, YCEF is part of a network of international kindergartens, primary and secondary schools that provides quality education to over 10,000 students, spanning from infancy to tertiary, across 20 locations in Hong Kong, mainland China, Somerset in the UK and Silicon Valley in the US.
