With the start of the school year, YWIES Lingang is once again embarking on a new semester full of vitality and hope.

As a school dedicated to providing students with an excellent international education, the School Leadership Team and faculty are the core forces leading the school forward.

In the new semester, a group of new teachers have joined our family. They will work with us to start the new semester with a journey of learning and exploration, creating a more diverse learning environment full of challenges and opportunities for our students.

With many years of experience in the field of education, The School Leadership Team(SLT) have demonstrated exceptional leadership skills and possesses a strategic vision that allows them to accurately identify and anticipate international education trends. They can develop strategic long-term plans for the school's development, ensuring its continued success.

The Co-Principals are undoubtedly crucial forces driving the school's development. Working together, they implement a Chinese and Western integrated education concept that enhances the quality of teaching and learning in the school and provides robust support for the comprehensive development of students. At YCYW, the Co-Principal Model is one of the most critical practices for cultivating future global citizens with a global perspective and cultural understanding.

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Gary Zhou as our new Co-Principal this year. Dr. Zhou brings with him over 20 years of experience in education management and teaching.
