Learning Support

The Learning Support team is committed to seeing every child have the opportunity to learn and grow. The YHIS Learning Support office provides various levels of academic support based on individual student needs. The office collaborates with teachers to identify students in need of learning support, implement classroom strategies and interventions to support student learning, and monitor student progress. The Learning Support office may also refer students for psychoeducational testing and coordinate a team of parents and teachers to develop a student-centered learning plan based on the unique goals and needs of the student.

School Counseling

At YHIS, we believe in a holistic approach to education through developing students in academics, strong character, social skills, and emotional wellness. One way YHIS is supporting this growth is through the School Counselor and counseling services. Counseling is offered to any students seeking social and emotional growth or by request of parents and teachers.

Counseling aims to guide students in growing confidence, social skills, and behavior development. The School Counselor implements this development through individual meetings with students, teaching social and emotional lessons in classes, meeting with teachers to create behavior plans, and meeting with parents for support as needed.

If you have concern for a student, please contact the School counselor by email at yhis.counselor@yhischina.com, or fill out the referral form by scanning the QR code provided here.

College Counseling

At YHIS, we see college as an important next step for our students as they move towards becoming global influencers. We provide career counseling services to all secondary students (middle and high school) to help them evaluate their strengths, aptitudes, and interests as they consider their future career path. We hold an annual Career Fair where experts from a variety of fields come and share about their career experiences with our students. We also take field trips to local businesses to help students explore a variety of careers and experience what the workplace is like.

As students move from middle school into high school, career counseling shifts to college counseling as students begin to consider college or university. We offer one-on-one college counseling, as well as seminar classes for high school juniors and seniors, to assist them in that process. We also monitor student progress in both academics and standardized testing to provide support as needed. Our goal is for all students to decide a field of study that suits their future career goals and for them to be well-prepared university candidates.
