Introduction

Yew Wah International Education School of Beijing (YWIES Beijing Yizhuang) opened in 2016 and is located within the B&P International Education Park in Beijing Yizhuang, part of the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area. The school provides bilingual (Chinese–English) programmes from early childhood through secondary and runs internationally recognised secondary routes including IGCSE and A Level courses. The campus promotes a co-teaching bilingual model in early years and primary classes and highlights two requisite programmes for all students: violin and swimming. YWIES Beijing lists a wide co-curricular programme (over 60 activities) and describes collaborative, inquiry-based learning across subject areas. For admissions and detailed tuition/fee information parents are directed to the Admissions team on the school website.

Shifoying W Rd, Chaoyang, Beijing, China, 100026

The Essentials

Yew Wah International Education School of Beijing has instruction in English, Mandarin.

Location
YWIES Beijing (Yizhuang) is on the B&P International Education Park in the Yizhuang Economic & Technological Development Area (BDA); the school lists its address as Liangshuihe Erjie, BDA, Beijing 100176. It serves families in Yizhuang, greater Beijing and neighbouring cities — contact Admissions for exact directions and public-transport options.

Stages
The school offers a through‑train international programme: Early Childhood (bilingual provision for children aged about 2–6), Primary and Secondary, including university‑preparatory pathways.

Type
YWIES Beijing is an international, bilingual school serving Chinese and foreign students; the site describes bilingual co‑teaching and mixed Western/Chinese leadership. The admissions FAQ also indicates parents may be able to select a school boarding service during final enrolment (contact Admissions for which year groups, if any, are eligible).

Additional learning support
The school publishes an English Language Enhancement (EAL) programme and describes a Chinese–Western co‑teaching approach intended to meet individual learners' needs. The website does not give detailed public information about formal special‑education (SEN) provision or specific therapies — Admissions can confirm available SEN services and assessments.

Country affiliation
YWIES Beijing is part of the Yew Chung Yew Wah (YCYW) Education Network, a group of schools rooted in Hong Kong that operates campuses across mainland China and internationally.

Religious affiliation
The school materials and overview do not indicate any religious affiliation; YWIES presents a secular, bilingual international curriculum.

School day structure
For Early Childhood the website gives a sample day (arrival c.08:00, breakfast c.08:30, learning periods and a morning snack around 10:00). The school calendar and weekly timetables for Primary and Secondary are published by the school — contact Admissions for daily start/end times and specific schedules.

Bus service
The admissions FAQ notes a school bus service is offered and that families can select bus service when finalising enrolment; the site does not list specific operators, routes or pick‑up points online. For route maps, costs and daily arrangements contact Admissions directly.

Application fees

- Application fee: Not publicly listed on the school's published admissions/fees information for Yew Wah International Education School of Beijing. A formal invoice or Offer of Placement is issued after acceptance; that invoice sets the payment required to finalise enrolment.

Per-term (installment) presentation

- The school publishes tuition as annual amounts. A school-issued invoice/Notice of Payment sets the billing schedule for each family. Where families require split payments, invoices and payment terms are shown on the school's payment notice. The per-term amount therefore depends on the payment arrangement on the invoice; dividing the annual tuition by the number of instalments on that invoice produces the term amount.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Process: after an Offer of Placement is issued the school issues a Notice of Payment; accepting the offer is completed by payment as stated on that notice. The school's admissions steps state the Offer/Notice system and that tuition payment finalises registration. Specific invoice due-dates and permitted instalment plans are set on the invoice/Notice of Payment.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- Boarding: the school's admissions steps reference a school boarding service as an option during finalisation, but public listings classify the Beijing campus as a day campus. Where boarding is required the school would issue a separate fee notice for boarding services; a specific boarding fee schedule is not published in the public fees material for the Beijing campus.

Other costs and fees

- Uniforms and books: the admissions steps indicate parents collect uniform and books as part of finalisation; these are additional costs billed separately or available for purchase.
- Optional services commonly billed separately (as referenced in admissions steps): school bus service, school boarding service (where available), and student insurance. Co-curricular trip costs, exam fees and some activity-specific charges are typically additional; itemised charges appear on invoices or activity notices.

Refund information

- Placement deposit / refundable fees: a refundable placement deposit is not shown on the Beijing campus' public fees listing. Other campuses in the same network publish refundable placement deposits in their fee schedules; where refundable deposits or refund terms apply the school's invoice and the school's formal payment/withdrawal terms state the refund and deduction rules. Any refund conditions and refund process are handled according to the school's payment and withdrawal terms as set out on the invoice/offer and in school finance policies.

Fee payment options

- Payment methods and technical details are not itemised on the public Beijing tuition summary. The school's admissions process indicates payment is made after issuance of the Notice of Payment; the invoice specifies acceptable payment methods and bank details. For many campuses the usual methods are bank transfer and locally accepted card/banking methods, with any bank charges or surcharges stated on the invoice — the Beijing invoice will list the school's accepted methods and instructions.

Notes for parents (concise)

- The figures above are the school's published annual tuition amounts for each year group; the school issues an Offer of Placement and Notice of Payment which sets the exact billing schedule, instalments and any one-time charges for your child.

If you need these figures presented in another currency or as per-term numeric examples derived from annual tuition (e.g., equal two-term instalments), state which grade(s) you want converted and I will provide a clear numeric per-term breakdown based on that choice.
Academics

Yew Wah International Education School of Beijing teaches Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A Levels for students aged 2 to 15.

Curriculum
YWIES Beijing runs a bilingual, co‑teaching Early Childhood programme for children aged 2–6 that uses an emergent, inquiry‑based approach in English and Chinese.
At Primary and lower‑secondary levels (Years/Grades 1–9) students follow the Yew Wah/Yew Chung bilingual curriculum, which integrates the Chinese national curriculum with international content across core subjects.
Upper secondary is organised for external qualifications: Years 10–11 follow IGCSE courses, and Years 12–13 prepare for the International Baccalaureate Diploma (with some YCYW campuses offering A‑Level or HKDSE options).
The curriculum's scope covers core subjects (English, Chinese, mathematics, sciences), arts and music (including violin/string orchestra options), PE, ICT/STEM and character development, alongside co‑curricular activities.
The school also operates university‑guidance and overseas preparatory initiatives (for example the Somerset Yew Wah classroom and a Careers & University Guidance Office) to support students' progression to universities abroad.
Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
YWIES Beijing describes a whole‑child approach where teachers work to develop students' personal, social and emotional capabilities through classroom programmes and activities. The school's Early Childhood programme uses a co‑teaching model (Chinese and Western co‑teachers) and an “emergent” curriculum that explicitly names social and emotional development as learning goals. The middle‑school programme has published news noting the inclusion of Social Emotional Learning (SEL)–related course content and skills for conflict expression and problem‑solving. School communications also describe regular community activities (welcome ceremonies, ice‑breakers) intended to build belonging and peer relationships. These points are stated on the school site.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
YWIES publishes an “English Language Enhancement” overview describing a bilingual learning environment and specific early‑years provision: a co‑teaching approach with Chinese and Western co‑teachers, an emergent programme that develops language alongside social and emotional skills, and partnership with parents to support language development. The page frames English support as integrated into classroom practice from early childhood rather than as a separate pull‑out EAL programme on the pages reviewed. The school provides downloadable brochures for early childhood that expand on the bilingual and co‑teaching arrangements.

Mental Wellbeing
The school frames mental wellbeing within its whole‑child approach: classroom programmes and the emergent curriculum aim to develop students' emotional resilience, self‑identity and social skills. News and community pages describe activities (ice‑breakers, welcome ceremonies, community projects) intended to foster belonging and peer support, and school statements say teachers collaborate to meet students' social and emotional needs. I did not find a separate published mental‑health policy or named counselling team on the public site for the Beijing campus. The available material therefore presents wellbeing as embedded in curriculum and community practice rather than via a clearly published specialist counselling service.

Safeguarding
YWIES Beijing states on its website that it is a “Child‑Safe School” and provides a link to its Child Protection Policies and Procedures on the About page. The site therefore indicates that formal safeguarding policies exist and are signposted to parents and visitors.
Parent Experience

History
Yew Wah International Education Schools (YWIES) are part of the Yew Chung Yew Wah (YCYW) network, a group with historical roots in the Yew Chung schools founded in 1932; Yew Wah as an organisation began expanding on the Chinese mainland from the late 1990s. The Yew Wah International Education Centre was established in 1998 and the first YWIES campus opened in Yantai in 2000, after which the YWIES network grew to include multiple mainland campuses. The Beijing Yizhuang campus is shown on the school site with a founding year of 2016 and is operated within the wider YCYW network structure. Governance and leadership are organised through the YCYW/Yew Wah school network rather than as an independent single-campus trust or owner.

Community
YWIES Beijing describes a bilingual, co-taught learning community and participates in regular cross-campus activities organised across the YCYW network. The school publishes frequent news items about student participation in competitions, concerts and school festivals, and it takes part in network-wide commemorations such as the annual Founder's Day. Family involvement is visible in many on-campus events (for example Kite Day) and in school concerts and academic competitions that bring students, staff and parents together.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
The school's published material emphasises a Partnership with Parents model: newsletters, regular reports on student learning and scheduled parent meetings are used to keep families informed and involved. Parents are invited to participate in and support on-campus activities — examples on the site include Kite Day, music events and student project showcases — and volunteers commonly assist at such events. YWIES Beijing also highlights network-level community projects and celebrations (Founder's Day, network concerts) where parents often play a supporting role. The site does not present a single-page description labelled “PTA”; instead, parent engagement appears to be organised through formal parent meetings, event volunteering and school communications. For context, other schools in the same YCYW network (for example YCIS Beijing) operate active parent organisations that run bazaars, charity drives and seasonal social events, indicating that parent volunteer groups are a common feature across the network.

Reputation

Awards
I reviewed the school's News and About pages (and the site footer) for awards awarded to the school in the past five years (2021–2025) and did not find any entries on the school website that clearly list awards given to the school (as distinct from student awards or broader network news). The site footer does include an image labeled the-great-teacher-school (which appears to be a logo or badge), but the website does not provide contextual details, dates or a news item showing that this is a school award in the last five years. Therefore, based on the school's publicly available website content, there are no school-level awards in the past five years that I can list.

If you'd like, I can (a) search wider public sources (news, education directories, Cambridge/CIE announcements) for awards not shown on the school site, or (b) draft a short message you could send to the school asking them to confirm their current accreditations and any recent school-level awards. Which would you prefer?

Accreditations
I reviewed Yew Wah International Education School of Beijing's official website (About, Academics and News pages and the site footer). The school's website explicitly shows the following accreditation/authorisation-related items:

- Cambridge Assessment / Cambridge International (site shows the Cambridge International logo and the school's pages reference IGCSE and A‑Level programmes). One-line explanation: Cambridge Assessment International Education is the provider/awarding organisation for IGCSE and A‑Level programmes; a Cambridge logo and the school's references to IGCSE and A‑Level on the school site indicate the school offers Cambridge examination programmes.

- Child-Safe School designation (the site states “YWIES Beijing Yizhuang is a Child‑Safe School” and links to its child protection policies). One-line explanation: the school's Child Protection statement on the site signals that it has formal child protection policies and procedures posted for parents and the school community.

Notes and limits: I searched the school website's About, Academics and News pages and the site footer for formal accreditation statements. I did not find explicit, written accreditation statements on the school site for other commonly seen international accreditors (for example, Council of International Schools (CIS), International Baccalaureate (IB) or regional U.S./New England accreditations). If you want, I can contact the school for clarification or search external sources for additional accreditations (but that would go beyond only the school's website).
Admissions

Admissions
1. Initial enquiry and school visit. On your first visit expect an introduction to the school's programmes, campus and bilingual approach — ask specifically for a meeting with the Co‑Principals if you want to discuss curriculum fit or boarding options. (Source: YWIES Beijing admissions page).

2. Submit application and required documents. Parents must complete the school's application form and submit documentary evidence, typically including the student's transcripts for the last two years and copies of student and parent/guardian ID documents; the admissions page lists these document requirements explicitly. If your child is transferring from another school, prepare translated/validated transcripts and any records of national testing so the school can place them accurately. Confirm whether the school asks for residency or visa documentation in your case before submission.

3. Student assessment: written tests and interviews. For higher entry grades the school notes there are written tests (commonly in English/literature and mathematics) plus interviews carried out in both English and Chinese; younger entry applicants may have age‑appropriate assessments and play‑based observations. Plan to bring your child to the scheduled test/interview session and ensure they have had a normal routine beforehand — arriving rested helps show true ability. If language is a concern, ask Admissions in advance about adjustments or language‑support testing.

4. Review, offer and fees notice. After assessments the Co‑Principals review documents and test/interview results; if successful the school issues an Offer of Placement and a separate notice of school fees payment. The fees notice will specify the tuition, any one‑time fees (application or placement deposits where applicable), and optional services such as school bus, boarding or insurance — fees vary by year level and are issued with the offer. Because fees change annually, confirm the exact amounts for the academic year you are applying for (the example published fees for 2025/2026 are shown on external fee listings).

5. Finalise enrolment: payment and selections. To secure the place families normally pay the tuition/placement deposit as instructed on the fees notice; at this stage you will also select optional services (school bus, boarding, school insurance) and complete any remaining administrative steps such as applying for a campus card. Keep receipts and confirm refund policy for any deposit (ask Admissions for the school's written policy) and whether sibling discounts or payment plans are available. If you need a specific start date (term/semester), confirm enrollment deadlines and visa or residency paperwork timelines well ahead of those dates.

6. Welcome and orientation. Once payment and admin are complete the school provides items and next steps: collecting uniforms and books, receiving a student ID/campus card, choosing academic subjects (for secondary students) and selecting co‑curricular activities; the school will also issue the weekly class schedule. Check whether the school runs a formal orientation programme for new families and whether there is an assigned staff contact for new students (Admissions can confirm orientation dates). Keep a copy of all forms submitted and a point of contact in Admissions for follow‑up.

Scholarships
YCYW (the Yew Chung Yew Wah Education Network) operates a networkwide scholarship programme and publishes details centrally; the network states that scholarships are awarded to current and prospective students for academic achievement, leadership and service and that awards can range from partial to full tuition waivers. The YCYW scholarship information explains that tuition waivers commonly range from 25% up to 100% and that some awards can run for two to three years depending on the specific scholarship category (for example the Yew Chung Yew Wah Academic Award). However, the network page also notes that scholarship types, award size and duration are adjusted according to each campus's circumstances and that families should consult the local campus Admissions Office for the exact scholarships available at YWIES Beijing and the application process. If you are interested in financial support, ask Admissions whether YWIES Beijing is taking scholarship applications for the year you plan to enrol, what evidence is required, whether current students may apply, and how awards are reviewed and renewed.

Waitlist
Public admissions information on the YWIES Beijing site does not describe a formal, published waitlist procedure; the school's official how‑to‑apply page describes the standard application, assessment and offer steps but does not state that offers will be managed via a named waiting list. If you are told a place is not available at the time of application, contact Admissions to ask whether they maintain an internal waitlist or a deferred‑offer pool and what, if any, actions parents should take to remain under consideration (for example confirming ongoing interest or submitting updated grades). Because practices differ between campuses and from year to year, the safest course is to request written clarification from the Admissions Office about waitlist policies and any timelines for notification. (No explicit waitlist text found on the school's admissions pages; contact Admissions for campus‑specific details).
