Yu Ying’s New Early Learning Campus
Our construction is under a tight timeline and tracking towards the end of August 2024. We are actively planning for contingency/swing space in the event of a delay. However if swing space is utilized, it would be for an older grade, and PK3-K students would remain at our Taylor Street campus.
Attending an Open House
To learn more about Yu Ying, please join us at an open house. Yu Ying’s open houses schedule runs from October to February. During this time you will have an opportunity to see a presentation, ask questions, and tour the school. These events are timed and designed for adults.
Weekend and evening in-person events do NOT require an RSVP. Please give yourself time to park legally in the neighborhood as we start on time.
NEW! Amharic translation of our Open House Slideshow
As they learn Chinese language, culture, and traditions, Yu Ying students expand their understanding of the role they play in today’s interconnected world. Come learn how Yu Ying prepares students to be life-long learners and global citizens through a nurturing English/Chinese language immersion program within the IB Primary Years Programme curriculum.
