Yew Chung International School of Shanghai Puxi - Gubei Campus

Yew Chung International School of Shanghai is a mixed Christian all-through school with sixth form situated in the Puxi district of Shanghai, eastern China. It is an independent day school that is recognised by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, the Council of International Schools and National Center for School Curriculum and Textbook Development. It is a bilingual school (English and Mandarin) throughout all ages that sees English proficiency as essential to its students, with its own English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme. The school has a school roll of around 2,500 students between the ages of 2-18. It provides an IGCSE curriculum and an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme for its students.

The Yew Chung Foundation to which the school belongs was first established in Hong Kong in 1932. In 1992, the mayor of Shanghai invited the school to move to his city as provision for the area’s increasing numbers of expatriate families. Under its new campus, the school became the first international school in Shanghai to be recognised and officially registered with the Government of China, ahead of its 1995 official opening. More recently, Yew Chung International Schools became the only group of schools in China to be given the Cambridge Award for Excellence in Education.
