Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The school teaches a curriculum subject titled “YWIES Wellness, Life Skills and Moral Education,” which indicates SEL content is included in the programme for upper-secondary students. The school also runs lifestyle and wellness workshops as part of its summer programmes and Residence Hall (boarding) activities that include life‑skills/etiquette sessions led by named staff. These items on the website show SEL is delivered through both timetabled curriculum and extra‑curricular workshops, though the site does not publish a separate SEL policy document.
The school's admissions pages state that applicants attend interviews and academic, social and language assessments so the school can “understand and meet the needs of students.” Beyond that admissions practice, the school website does not publish a dedicated Special Educational Needs (SEN) policy or a clear list of the specific types of SEN it can support. The site does not describe the school as a specialist SEN institution. As such, the school does not publicly disclose detailed SEN provision or specialist-status information.
Upper‑secondary course listings on the school website explicitly include English as an Additional Language (EAL) alongside other English options (English First Language, ESL, YWIES Academic English), showing EAL is offered as a taught course. The site also describes programmes (e.g., bridge and summer courses) that aim to strengthen students' English communication in the context of art and portfolio work. The website does not, however, publish detailed information about a specific EAL team, entry‑level assessment process for EAL learners, or one‑to‑one EAL provision beyond these course listings.
The school identifies wellness and life‑skills learning in its curriculum (YWIES Wellness, Life Skills and Moral Education) and runs lifestyle & wellness activities in short courses and summer programmes, indicating wellbeing content is provided through taught courses and workshops. The campus and boarding pages note experienced staff supervise boarders and monitor dormitory safety, which the school presents as part of student care. The website does not publish a separate mental‑health/counselling policy or detail a named counselling team, so dedicated psychological‑support staffing and programmes are not publicly described.
The school's admissions information states a non‑discrimination policy and an admissions interview/test process used to assess students' academic, social and language needs. The campus and boarding pages state that boarding services are supervised by experienced staff who monitor dormitory safety. The school website does not appear to publish a separate child‑protection or safeguarding policy document with named safeguarding officers on the public pages reviewed, so detailed child‑protection procedures are not publicly disclosed.
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.
