YWIES Guangzhou is in Huadong Town, Huadu District — address: No. 9 Xue'er Street, Beixing, Huadong Town, Huadu, Guangzhou 510897.

YWIES Guangzhou serves Early Childhood through Upper Secondary (listed as K1 — A Level / ages roughly 1–18). The school groups its provision into Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary sections.
The school is co-educational and admits both day and boarding students; the admissions pages and fee information note options for day pupils and resident students.
The school operates a Learning Support function and provides social‑emotional learning (SEL) programmes as part of student care; the site also highlights English-language enhancement services for students who need language support. For details on individual student plans or formal SEN provision you should contact admissions directly.
YWIES Guangzhou is part of the Yew Wah / Yew Chung (YCYW) network, a group of schools originating in Hong Kong and operating across mainland China and other locations; the school is therefore affiliated with that network rather than a national government system.
The school does not advertise any religious affiliation on its public pages; its materials describe an international bilingual education model rather than a faith‑based approach.
Public sources indicate a typical school day beginning around 08:00 and finishing in the late afternoon (about 16:30), with supervised before/after‑school care available; the school calendar (term dates) is published separately on the school site. If you need exact daily timetables for a particular year group, contact the admissions office.
YWIES Guangzhou operates a school bus service (multiple external school listings and the school's campus services section note transport/bus arrangements). Routes, pick‑up points and whether a seat is available are normally handled by the school's transport office during enrolment, so ask admissions for current routes, fees and safety arrangements.
