First Day Photo Album! 开学照片集锦！

On Monday, August 21, Yew Chung International School of Beijing celebrated our first day of school.  With such a large school community – of various ages, cultures, and life experiences – a vast range of emotions was on display throughout the day on our Honglingjin Park campus.

8月21日星期一，北京耀中国际学校正式开启了2017-18学年——来自世界不同国家和地区、不同年龄、不同文化风俗的学生欢聚一堂，共同期待着硕果累累的一年！

There were young parents, proud though teary-eyed when dropping off their children for the first time in kindergarten.

幼教部的年轻家长很自豪他们的孩子都上学了，然后在离别时却热泪盈眶，毕竟这是第一次送孩子上学。

There were nervous looks from new students, anxious of entering the unfamiliar environment – which then gave way to relief and excitement when meeting a new group of friends.

新学生来到新的环境很紧张，但一融入新的班级、和新同学见面时又是兴奋不已。

Then there were our returning students, reuniting with classmates and sharing enthusiastic tales of their summer adventures.

老学生一看到同学，就迫不及待地分享假期里的故事。

IBDP students, meanwhile, were engaged and focused at the starting line of their final sprint towards university.

IBDP 学生则继续集中精力努力学习，为升学做最后的冲刺。

This year marks the 22nd anniversary of YCIS Beijing.  The faces have changed, as have the stories, but the themes have remained.  Our school community maintains their care and support for one another, both as audience and actor in each other’s life stories.  On the first day of school, we’re reminded that our school community is as strong as ever and ready to join hands and tackle the new year together!

今年是北京耀中国际学校成立的第22年。学生的面孔和故事已然改变，但是主题旋律仍在。我们学校社区一直相互关心和支持同伴，就像观众和演员携手相伴一样。开学第一天，让我们开始携手共创新的辉煌。
