Introduction
Yew Chung International School Silicon Valley (YCIS Silicon Valley) delivers a bilingual Mandarin-English education for ages 2 to 14 within a non-profit American environment. The school offers EYFS, American, Singapore, and bespoke curricula, taught in English and Mandarin through a bilingual co‑teaching model that pairs English‑speaking and Mandarin‑speaking teachers. Students progress from preschool to middle school across two Mountain View campuses: an early childhood campus on East Middlefield Road and a K–8 campus on Easy Street. The program follows the Yew Chung Approach, emphasizing the Twelve Values and inquiry-based learning, with seven integrated areas of learning: Personal, Social and Emotional Development; Physical Development; Communication and Language; Literacy; Mathematics; Understanding the World; Expressive Arts and Design. The school blends Eastern and Western traditions to develop compassionate, bilingual world learners. Facilities include weekly violin instruction, Art and Music, an indoor gym, and extensive field trips and campus-wide events for families and communities.
