The school believes in the benefits of becoming competently bilingual and believe that the real essence of a culture must not just be understood, but truly valued.

The school's unique multicultural and bilingual approach to education, with a focus on both English and Chinese language learning, is recognised worldwide and helps distinguish our students in a globally competitive environment.
The five campuses, which are located in prime areas in both Puxi and Pudong, collectively cater for Kindergarten, Primary, and Secondary students, ages 2 to 18. As a school for the children of international families, our students come from over 50 countries and regions and are educated by world-class teachers from more than 20 countries. Our international curriculum helps to develop individuals with multicultural perspectives.

To Mr. Langhans,
As you probably know, music is and probably will be a major part of my life. With your help I have been able to mature my music style and find out what I really enjoy working on in music. I have been able to look up to you and your playing style as an influence on my piano playing, both, solo and in the band. You make a good friend, both, in and out of school. Thank you for a great two years and I look forward to continue working with you in the band to mature my keyboard and improvisation skills even more.

Thank you for teaching us music & practicing with us. I learned some music theory and Jazz from you during my 3 month at YCIS. Well - you are really fun and cool. Hope you have great summer and enjoy the rest of the days.

Thank you for teaching me Music. I had lots of fun performing on the stage at the Summer and the Winter Concert. I could also try out many different instruments and I think this was only possible to do in your class. Thank you.
