YCIS-SV is their only school in the US and serves largely a population of American Chinese families living in Silicon Valley—some of whom are native Mandarin speakers at home. Recognizing the highly regarded Yew Chung brand, these families of YCISSV’s 262 students appreciate the East-West approach of lessons taught in both English and Mandarin languages, with typical US PK-8 curricula plus Mandarin language and Chinese culture classes. The Board of Directors of YCIS-SV is pleased to announce that Sandra Hite has been appointed as the Head of School for Yew Chung International School, Silicon Valley (YCIS-SV) to guide the next stage of growth. Sandra has over two decades of experience both as an academic leader and school administrator in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. She is expertly conversant in pedagogy and has successfully implemented academic programs for preschool through middle-school in schools larger than YCIS-SV. Sandra provides a vision for applying her past success to our community. The community appreciates the value she places on using key metrics to track student and staff progress to build successful programs. Sandra’s experience and knowledge launching new schools will undoubtedly prove valuable as YCIS continues to grow. Her background in international education has notably given her insight into how to unite communities that span two languages and cultures. The board is confident that Sandra has the right educational, executive experience and bold passion to build upon the success of past and current administrations. We are excited about the experience and vision that Sandra brings to this new role and we are thrilled that YCIS- SV will be under her skilled leadership moving forward. We welcome Sandra into our Yew Chung Yew Wah family and wish her our very best in this new appointment.
