Yinghao College opened the gates to a beautiful countryside campus on September 1st 1993. Yinghao was the first private boarding school to open in China and quickly became famous for providing top-end education in China. This set a trend in China where over the next 15 years, an estimated half a trillion RMB has been invested in private sector education, by parents, educationalists and entrepreneurs alike.

 

In Yinghao's short history it has already made its mark in education not just on the national but international stage. Major achievements vary from students gaining places at top universities such as Cambridge University to winning the prize for the most environmentally school in the region. More of these achievements are listed in the achievements section.

 

Yinghao has ambitious plans in place for the future to ensure it maintains its position as the leading provider of primary and secondary education within China.   

                         

 

Since day one, Yinghao has had the overriding philosophy to look to the future. The most recent development at Yinghao College is for the International Department to run Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) A-Levels.

 

The International Department aims to soon become the ＃1 provider of A-Levels in China; each striving for academic excellence, cultural diversity and fulfilling their dreams of further education abroad. The management team is a blend of Chinese and Westerners all of whom have experience in education in both Asia and the West, with personal links to the world's most prestigious institutions; Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard and Yale, among them.
