Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
–William Butler Yeats
Our Model
The Yu Ming Difference
At Yu Ming, we unlock each student’s unique potential and nurture the necessary skills, mindsets, and values to make a positive impact in the world, by anchoring our model on four pillars.
Academic Excellence
We personalize learning for students to reach their greatest potential.
We believe all children can succeed and are committed to unleashing the potential of every Yu Ming student. We hold our students to the standard of their greatest individual potential.
Mandarin Immersion
We foster bilingual global citizens.
Bilingual mastery of English and Mandarin Chinese, the two most spoken languages in the world, means our students bridge borders on a daily basis and learn how to communicate and build relationships across languages, cultures, and geographies.
Whole Child Education
We balance rigorous academics with social-emotional learning.
Guided by our core values of integrity, perseverance, empathy and wisdom, we challenge our students to lead with humility, collaborate with empathy, think with independence, and problem solve with creativity.
Diverse, Equitable & Inclusive Community
We build a community that embraces diversity and values our collective humanity.
At Yu Ming we believe that the diversity of our communities, and of the world at large, is a source of strength and key to our success in educating culturally-empathetic global citizens.
