Yew Chung International School of Silicon Valley

Yew Chung International School of Silicon Valley is a day school in Mountain View serving 200–300 students from elementary through high school. The school's defining feature is its dual-language model: Mandarin Chinese threads through math, science, and humanities instruction at every grade level. Students build bilingual fluency not through separate language classes but through authentic academic work in both languages. This integration shapes hiring needs and daily teaching practice across the entire faculty.

The school organizes around three institutional pillars: science and technology, culture and arts, and love and charity. Unlike many independent schools, all three receive genuine budgetary and curricular weight. A science teacher collaborates with visual arts and service-learning faculty whose input shapes school decisions. That balance is uncommon. Silicon Valley's proximity means families often have tech industry connections and international experience; faculty can anchor lessons to real research problems and global networks in ways most schools cannot.

Mandarin fluency is valuable but not universally required. Yew Chung hires bilingual classroom teachers, subject specialists new to dual-language settings, and support roles in admissions and operations. The school maintains stable finances and continues hiring year-round across grade levels and departments. For educators drawn to smaller day schools where your curriculum voice carries weight and where you teach alongside colleagues invested equally in technical literacy and human connection, this environment offers clear appeal.
