At the core of everything we do are our like-minded colleagues—the dedicated teachers, mentors, leaders, and staff who come together as one family, driven by a shared purpose to unlock every child’s true potential. Our strength lies not only in our outstanding programs but also in the shared values and deep dedication of those who join us. Every day, we witness the transformative power of education as young minds expand, character develops, and lifelong journeys begin.

Looking to the future, we are excited to announce the upcoming opening of Yew Wah School of Hong Kong in the 2028/29 school year, located in Tin Shui Wai. As the first school in Hong Kong to offer the Mainland curriculum, this pioneering institution will serve as a bridge between tradition and innovation, fostering mutual respect between Eastern and Western cultures while honoring the dignity of one’s own heritage.
