Yew Wah International Education School of Shanghai Lingang is part of the Yew Chung Yew Wah (YCYW) Education Network, a group of schools founded by Professor Paul Yip and Dr Betty Chan Po‑king that expanded into mainland China from Hong Kong. The Lingang campus opened in 2015 as the network's YWIES presence in the Lin‑gang Special Area; the campus was developed on a site adapted from an earlier government building. The school was established under the Yew Wah brand as the group extended its network of kindergartens and YWIES campuses across mainland China. These developments sit within the wider YCYW framework of cross‑school programmes and shared governance.
The school describes a bilingual, bicultural community with a mix of Chinese and international staff and students and a programme of co‑curricular activities that includes music, drama, choir, language options (for example Spanish and French), and team sports. Campus life is supported by regular school and network events—such as Founder's Day and inter‑school activities—plus concerts, exhibitions and trips that bring together students, families and staff. The Lingang campus size and staffing have been described in local profiles, and the school emphasises parent‑school communication through a dedicated parent portal and school news channels.
YWIES Shanghai Lingang maintains formal parent communication channels (a Parent Portal and WeChat updates) and the YCYW network runs parent webinar series and workshops aimed at wellbeing, safeguarding and supporting learning at home. The school's online parent services and listed contact points are used to share policies, event information and volunteer opportunities; parents commonly support concerts, sports days, Founder's Day celebrations and trips. YCYW's Safeguarding and Inclusion guidance notes that schools engage parents through surveys, meetings and workshops, and the Lingang site highlights a Parent Portal login as a principal channel for families. While the school site does not publish a detailed PTA constitution online, these portals, webinars and school‑level meetings provide the main routes for parent representation, volunteering and event organisation.
Yew Wah International Education School, Shanghai Lingang opened in 2015 and offers education from primary through high school on a single campus in the Nanhui / Lingang New Town area. The school combines the Chinese national curriculum at primary and lower-secondary levels with international programmes in senior secondary (two-year IGCSE followed by two-year A Level), and describes its classroom language environment as Chinese–English bilingual with collaborative Chinese and international teaching teams. The campus materials on the school website note campus size (~60 acres), boarding provision, on‑site sports and arts facilities, and a student–teacher ratio of 6:1. (All items above are taken from the school's official pages and the school's 2025 admission brochures.)
