Washington Yu Ying was founded by parents in 2008 on two simple premises: 1. economic and political connections to China become increasingly intertwined.

Washington Yu Ying PCS, a Chinese-immersion, public charter, IB World School strives to inspire and prepare young people to create a better world by challenging them to reach their full potential in a nurturing Chinese/English educational environment. Fluency in more than one language develops a greater ability to communicate with and to understand other cultures; and 2. Mandarin Chinese—spoken by one in five people worldwide—is an important language for American children to learn, especially as U.S.

As we close out a week of celebrating 15 years of Harris Laoshi at Yu Ying, we had to look back.

Sarah has worn many hats: YY founding principal, classroom teacher, assistant principal, and, after years of dreaming and planning, school librarian.

To call our library a success would be an understatement. She has created one of the coziest and most loved spaces at Yu Ying, while sparking a joy of reading in countless students.

We know so many Yu Ying alumni carry a little piece of Harris Laoshi with them. In an ever-changing world, we hope every student is lucky enough to have a Harris Laoshi in their life.

Thank you, Sarah, for 15 incredible years at Yu Ying. 💙📚

And yes, 15 years means we found plenty of gems in the photo archives. 📸

From our three-year-olds carrying backpacks nearly as big as they are to our fifth graders who suddenly look very grown up, the first full week of school is in the books.

A lot happens between PK3 and fifth grade. ❤️ Welcome back, Yu Ying.

This year, Yu Ying launched our first First Lego League (FLL) Robotics teams. Huge shoutout and appreciation to Amy Hariani (YY parent) for her dedication for launching this program. And lots of thanks to our parent volunteers and DCI mentors. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Across all programs, teams exercised the FLL core values at practices and final competitions, ensuring that learning, collaboration, and character-building were at the core of robotics. Through this hands-on experience, our older teams built and coded robots while also working on an innovation project where they identified a problem faced by archaeologists and proposed a solution that could help. Through building and learning about real-world topics, our younger teams built foundational skills, like critical thinking and collaboration. We look forward to another fun-filled robotics season next year!

This week, some of Class of 2026 Yu Ying alumni returned to campus to visit former teachers, reconnect with friends, and share advice with our 5th graders. Seeing the thoughtful, accomplished young people they’ve become is one of the clearest reflections of the impact of a Yu Ying education.

During their visit, we were thrilled to hear about the many Senior Awards they earned, recognizing everything from exemplifying IB learner traits and academic diligence to being named DP Student of the Year. We were especially proud to learn that, among DCI’s graduating seniors, four valedictorians and three salutatorians were Yu Ying alumni.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

See you at graduation!
