History and
Philosophy of
YC
IS
Yew Chung education commenced with my mother’s
perceptive insight during the 1930s; development and
expansion has continued throughout the 84 years since. Our
commitment to education today recognises the necessity for
thinking and acting from insular to universal. YCIS strives to diversify and
reshape the path of education according to our ever-changing world.
What is the true purpose of education? The implementation of a broad and
meaningful international curriculum content, commencing in early childhood,
extending through Primary and Secondary education makes an impact on the child.
A child is a true creation from influences both of the home and learning environment;
teachers play a key role, as do parents.Theworld today is more competitive than ever, bringing
unpredictable challenges and new situations. Parents have a strong sense of responsibility in
choosing a school to help prepare their child for the unknown future.
Interlinked with our commitment to global education is the vision to promote the inner moral
compass; this balance will enable tomorrow’s generation to take the helm and steer their way
through human complexities, enabling them to exhibit goodness, honesty and compassion with
confidence. Our responsibility today will lead to a more stable
world in the future. After all, it is the learning that
will impact and transform the future.
