YCIS Beijing Founder's Day Underscores 25 Years of Innovation and Commitment
The new Alumni Hall of Fame – established to recognise those who have made significant contributions to the community – stirred the imagination of younger students as they consider their own future paths to success.
The YCIS Beijing students had a fun-filled day participating in assorted sports activities. A 35-strong choir – drawn from Secondary students – showcased its considerable talent with performances of popular classics such as "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers and "Hey Jude" by The Beatles. The choir was accompanied by the school orchestra.
Founder's Day is celebrated on the second Friday of October each year to commemorate YCYW founder Madam Tsang Chor-hang and her bold forward-thinking vision for education when she started her first school in 1932. Over almost 90 years the group has been committed to its philosophy of holistic education that develops the "whole person" while combining the best of the East and the West.
Founded in 1995, YCIS Beijing is the second oldest international school in the capital. In 2016, the school became the first in the YCYW group to launch Learning Communities, innovative reinforcement of soft skills to prepare students for a balanced life and future success.
