It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Yew Wah International Education School of Shanghai Gubei opened in 2001 and operates as one campus within the Yew Chung Yew Wah (YCYW) education network. The campus was developed as YWIES's specialist art and design site and shares governance and resources with other schools in the YCYW group. Its establishment and programmes are part of the broader Yew Wah/Yew Chung organisational structure rather than an independent private school. The campus history is therefore closely tied to the YCYW network's expansion onto the Chinese mainland.
The school describes active home–school collaboration and maintains a dedicated parent‑relations function to coordinate family engagement. Families are invited to regular parent workshops, seminars and forums; the campus has hosted parent‑student sharing evenings and livestreamed parent panels for families. Students and parents also take part in wider network cultural and charity events organised by YCYW.
The campus runs a Parent Ambassador programme that gives parents formal roles in school communications and outreach; the school also employs a full‑time staff member responsible for parent relations. That office organises parenting seminars, workshops and volunteer opportunities, and coordinates parents who wish to support school activities. Specific parent events reported by the school include in‑person parent talks and livestreamed panels (for example the "家有艺术生" parent forum). Parents are routinely invited to support student exhibitions, performances and community/charity projects, and the school shares notices and resources for families through newsletters and the school's digital channels. The Parent Ambassador programme is presented as the primary structured route for parents to participate beyond routine volunteering.
Yew Wah International Education School of Shanghai Gubei opened in 2001 and is at 600 Gubei Road, Changning District, Shanghai. The campus delivers an English‑taught, three‑year upper‑secondary art and design programme that emphasises portfolio preparation and university guidance for overseas applications. The school website lists facilities including art and design classrooms, a fashion and textiles studio, a digital media lab, a design and technology workshop, and a multifunctional exhibition hall. Boarding is available and the site describes curriculum pathways aligned with Cambridge Pre‑A/IGCSE and AS/A Level courses, with subjects such as digital media offered. Admissions information notes applicants complete English and art assessments and a principal interview. The site also describes a Western–Chinese co‑leadership model and names the school's senior leaders. The website lists recent university destinations including University of the Arts London and Parsons; news pages describe collaborations with fashion designers and showcases student exhibitions and competition entries regularly.
