“We may not be able to prepare the future for our children, but we can at least prepare our children for the future.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt

Yew Chung is committed to providing a holistic education that not only nurtures students in academic achievement and character formation, but empowers and prepares them as active learners and members of a globalising world. Throughout this process of development, parents play an influential role in bringing up their children and preparing them to become contributors in an increasingly competitive, advanced, and interconnected world. In line with Yew Chung’s philosophy and under the Charter of Success, the School is ardent towards home-school cooperation, which engenders a rewarding partnership with parents to ensure that every student is best prepared and equipped for all future challenges.

To liberate our children, let us first liberate ourselves. Yew Chung believes that all parents are able to learn and grow together with their children. We would like to further offer Parenting Programmes to help each parent gain a better understanding about child development and the skills required for effective parenting. These programmes ultimately assist in raising happier, healthy children and building the bond between each unique parent-child relationship.

Below are the programmes and activities specially designed to encourage greater parent participation:

• Parenting Programme
  Every parent plays a crucial role in the growth of their child. The correlation of that greater parental involvement, participation and communication with leads to an improved quality of development means it is simply far too important to ignore. As such, Yew Chung organises a parent-specific programme on parent education to help parents come to grips with good parenting and how they can build a stronger family.
• Home-School Cooperation Projects
  With Yew Chung’s pledge towards proactive parenting, a number of Home-School Cooperation Projects are organised to promote parent involvement and to ensure that the very best support is provided to each child at home and school.
• Parent-Child Activities
  Events, activities or excursions catering to Yew Chung families are organised on a year-round basis.
• Parenting Support
  A dedicated web platform, a hotline and a designated email have been set up to enhance the convenience of support to Yew Chung families. A dedicated in-house counseling team is available to provide support or refer cases to a broad range of professional agencies. Parents in need of support are encouraged to contact us.
