Yew Chung International School of Qingdao

TISS Gold Tier School

Qingdao, China

Also known as YCIS Qingdao, Yew Chung International School of Qingdao is a coeducational day and boarding school catering to students across Early Years, Primary, Middle, and Senior School levels. What makes the school truly unique is the Yew Chung network's hallmark multicultural and bilingual approach, which blends Eastern and Western educational philosophies to nurture global perspectives. With modern boarding facilities located in the Economic & Technology Development Zone, it offers a well-rounded and supportive international environment for expat families in the region.

What teachers and parents say

Positives

  • Supportive and relaxed school climate with friendlier on-site administration and higher teacher morale than at YCIS mega-campuses.
  • Strong bilingual co-teaching model and robust Chinese language immersion that are well-regarded by parents.
  • High savings potential enabled by competitive expat compensation paired with Qingdao's relatively low cost of living.

Negatives

  • Heavy workload and long school year, marked by roughly 200 instructional days, extensive administrative paperwork, and weekend commitments.
  • Isolated Huangdao location, which requires lengthy commutes from downtown Qingdao and offers a quieter, less international expat environment.
