About 简介

Yu Ying takes its name —meaning nurturing excellence—from a groundbreaking girls’ school founded in 1911 in Beijing, China. Established by a former Imperial Lady-in-Waiting, Madame Tzen-Kuei Wang, the Yu Ying School offered classroom education at a time when the centuries-old tutorial system was still the norm in China. The school was a powerful force for educational change in China.

In providing Chinese language immersion in a structured inquiry-based environment, our founders had a similarly ambitious goal in creating Washington Yu Ying. As parents and educators with a passion for quality public education and Chinese language and culture, our founders established Yu Ying on the belief that all D.C. children have the right to a quality education that opens doors to the future.

Our Beliefs

At Yu Ying, we believe that Chinese–spoken by one in five people worldwide–is an important language for American children to learn, especially as U.S. economic and political connections to China become increasingly intertwined. In addition, Yu Ying provides students with global competencies to prepare them for success in the real world.
