YCIS Shanghai (Century Park)

Century Park is part of YCIS Shanghai and the wider Yew Chung Yew Wah Education Network. Its educational approach brings together Chinese and international perspectives, balancing academic progress with personal development. Students benefit from opportunities to explore their interests and receive guidance as they make decisions about further study.

Located on Dongxiu Road, Century Park supports students as they move from Primary into Secondary and become increasingly independent learners. Collaborative learning spaces encourage discussion, investigation and creativity, helping students connect classroom knowledge with practical challenges.

YCIS Shanghai aims to develop capable, compassionate global leaders who serve others and take meaningful action to improve the world.

We believe that the core purpose of education is character formation, and it is the most important shared responsibility of the school and home.

We believe that each child is unique, with innate talents and gifts that should be nurtured to the fullest potential.

We believe that quality student-teacher relationships are at the heart of meaningful engagement, leading to highly effective learning and teaching.

We believe that Learning Communities best enable students and teachers to creatively and holistically explore different fields of knowledge, fostering individual and collaborative learning skills that are critical for the 21st century.

We believe in equipping our graduates with a deep respect for and understanding of world cultures, mastery of Chinese and English, plus proficiency in other modern languages, as well as a strong commitment to meeting challenges of their generation.

YCIS places character development at the centre of education. It values each child’s abilities, strong relationships with teachers, family partnerships, collaborative learning and understanding across cultures.
