極度不建議,根本不像是一個學校,極差的學習環境,對嚴重的問題從來不作出改變,永遠視而不見,學生辱罵毆打老師是常見,很多學生是土皇帝一樣無法無天。但這個黑商卻只會關心欸不足道的小事,例如進門安檢式搜查手機,卻連學生帶到都不差。某些老師沒有邏輯,也是因為上樑不正下樑歪。感覺唯一的目的就是敲詐沒腦有錢人的錢,你給錢就什麼都可以做。生意都唔係咁做啊大佬。

YCIS withhold your debenture and is irresponsible of how they impact families. The school is overly commercialized. The education quality is hit and miss depending on which teacher is there. It is a rip off.

A highly toxic and dishonest school, it is more akin to a Chinese tuition centre. The students' level of English is extremely poor, many of them speak literally no English at all. The leadership are in total denial and gaslight frequently. Students make frequent derogatory comments about staff, including racism. Not a nice working environment, with CCTV everywhere, including (illegally) in every classroom, extremely high staff workloads and micro-managing, and a culture of fear and staff blaming as the students can do no wrong and are never held to account.

Some of their students are extremely toxic and their Instagram gossip account is full of bullying and harassment posts. Not a friendly environment for students to study in.

Yew Chung is a school uniquely talented in fostering hate between students and teachers. The environment is one of constant competition and ridicule, and it is a miracle that some students are able to graduate with so much as an ounce of self-confidence. It is truly astounding that a so-called school could display the level of disregard and carelessness that Yew Chung does regarding the basic care and education of its students. As an international school, one would assume a heavy , or at least some emphasis on the international aspect, with opportunities for students to explore different perspectives and ideas. However, what Yew Chung actually offers is a curriculum tailored for Chinese students, with no regard for any others. Yew Chung is a business first and a school last, and I would highly recommend that any parent who actually cares about their child to seriously consider if this is the environment they want.

I used to work there as a teacher and left as soon as my contract was up because of very poor practice. Mainland Chinese and other ethnic minority students were consistently discriminated by their fellow students and the school condoned that behaviour. The academic standard is generally low and parents are pushed into making up for the school's shortcomings with expensive private tutoring. Also, parents are consistently lied to about their children's development and performance.

The teachers always leave in the middle of the school year. A lot of teachers leave in the middle of IGCSEs and IBs, making students have a hard time.

This school is overpriced, school facilities are beyond a joke. Open learning classrooms is a mistake that the school has made.

This review is for the primary school. Good standards of teaching, especially in science and maths. Strong music programme. Building facilities are run down. The school office is difficult to work with. Pastoral care and safeguarding policies are lacking. I would not recommend sending a non-Chinese speaking child to this school as both the Chinese language instruction and English language enrichment they receive will be inadequate.

The school needs to be closed down. Either that or they need to do a complete overhaul of the school system and staff with it. No child should go though the psychological horrors of bullying, harassment, talks of children overdosing and self harming come to mind. Would highly not recommend this school.

Terrible bullying going on at this place, the small non-Chinese minority get singled out and humiliated at every opportunity with the cooperation of some careless teachers. Some years later, my child is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, self harming and taking antipsychotic drugs to ease the long lasting pain. We may sue.

Got flashed in year 2, teacher didn't try to stop it or tell him off. Someone also pulled my chair when I was about to sit and teacher didn't try to tell him off as well. Also didn't teach times-tables so I was left very confused and they didn't even try to explain it later.

This school is legit a joke. Principal is terrible and very unreasonable, poor education. Administration staff lacks any form of knowledge in their field. Sets unrealistic expectations for both teachers and students and is definitely not worth the money. Corrupt school system with no consideration for students or staff
