Yew Wah international education schools and services are built upon the many decades of experience of Yew Chung Education Foundation. 

Yew Chung was founded by a pioneer of international education, Madam Tsang Chor-hang, in Hong Kong in 1932. In recent decades, Madam Tsang's daughter, Dr. Betty Chan Po-king, together with Professor Paul Yip Kwok-wah, have set up Yew Chung International Schools in Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing and Qingdao for overseas and non-Chinese citizens. In 2002, the couple opened a formal Yew Chung International School in Silicon Valley, USA, the first attempt to export the Yew Chung model of international education which combines Eastern and Western cultures.

With their experience in international education, Dr. Chan and Prof. Yip started the Yew Wah series of international education for Chinese citizens in major cities of Shanghai, Yantai, Chongqing, Shenzhen and Beijing in China which overseas or non-Chinese students are also eligible and welcome to apply for. The series aims at allowing more students to enjoy quality international education.
