Yu Ying takes its name —meaning nurturing excellence—from a groundbreaking girls’ school founded in 1911 in Beijing, China. Established by a former Imperial Lady-in-Waiting, Madame Tzen-Kuei Wang, the Yu Ying School offered classroom education at a time when the centuries-old tutorial system was still the norm in China. The school was a powerful force for educational change in China.

In providing Chinese language immersion in a structured inquiry-based environment, our founders had a similarly ambitious goal in creating Washington Yu Ying. As parents and educators with a passion for quality public education and Chinese language and culture, our founders established Yu Ying on the belief that all D.C. children have the right to a quality education that opens doors to the future.
