This
year marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Yew Chung
International School of Beijing (YCIS). Exciting events and activities
are planned for the school community to celebrate this landmark event on
Friday, Oct 9, at their Honglingjin campus. Since its establishment, the
school has evolved significantly but at its core, its values have
remained unchanged.
YCIS
Beijing is part of a network of schools founded in 1932 in Hong Kong by
Madam Tsang Chor-hang, an ardent educator. When she founded the school
at the young age of 16, her vision was guided by her values and
principles as she sought to offer students a global perspective and to
stretch education beyond classroom walls.

A
lot of the haunts at Happy Valley look pretty scary for kids, but they do have a
haunted house that could test the frightful limits for slightly older
kids. Even if they’re too spooked to walk through the haunted doors, the
ambiance at Happy Valley’s Halloween is enough to make any family
spooked!
