News flash! We have a rare occurrence and, as a result, a rare opportunity for interested families! Yinghua currently has a limited number of open kindergarten spots for the upcoming 2022-23 school year. Current families know firsthand the value of a Yinghua education. The school has flourished because of dedicated school leaders, high-caliber teachers, energetic students, and supportive families.
Families that would like to apply should email Yinghua’s Registrar, Renee Cosgrove, renee.cosgrove@yinghuaacademy.
