We celebrate:
Curious minds in classrooms
Tenacious spirits on the fields
Creative souls on stage
Compassionate hearts in the community

—Every student shines uniquely.

Seven unique individuals. Seven differing stories. One incredible shared journey.

Congratulations on a journey well-travelled. There are struggles you have all faced, hardships endured, joys you have celebrated, and laughter that you have shared that have shaped who you are today. I am proud of the young men and women you are becoming and look forward to hearing about your next chapter.

Congratulations, Class of 2025!

YCIS Qingdao carries profound emotional significance for its alumni. Each year, during the graduation ceremony, many former students return to campus with warmth and affection. Together with current staff and students, they witness this momentous occasion. It is not only a gesture of goodwill towards the graduates, but also a heartfelt expression of loyalty and gratitude to their alma mater. YCIS Qingdao is their home, and this annual journey "home" is a reflection of their enduring connection and the cherished tradition they continue to uphold.
 

This year, 13 alumni from countries and regions including the U.S., the U.K., South Korea, Canada, and Hong Kong returned, interpreting the school's educational mission through their experiences in diverse global fields. Such a reunion at this moment is like an educational echo spanning mountains and seas.

YCIS Qingdao reminds every far-travelling figure that wherever they go, this place will always be a harbour carrying their original aspirations and a "home" where they can return to draw strength at any time.

Every YCIS student's growth

is lifted by the strength of our community.
To all parents and faculty:
Thank you for walking this educational journey with us,
Side by side, with warmth and dedication.

As we close this chapter, we don't say goodbye,
But rather,

Well done, carry forward, and continue to shine.

May your summer be filled with well-deserved joy,
We eagerly await the stories you'll write next school year!
