Chongqing Rongke Yew Wah International Education Kindergarten (YWIEK) follows the YWIEK Curriculum developed by Yew Wah's Early Childhood Education Research and Development Centre. The curriculum is organized into three age bands: Toddler Curriculum for ages 2–3, Early Childhood Curriculum for ages 3–5, and Pre-Primary Preparation Curriculum for ages 5–6. Teaching emphasizes emergent curriculum, learning through play, and a bilingual Chinese-English learning environment to support second-language development. The program includes specialized activities such as the Yew Wah Adaption Programme for New Students, Yew Wah Early Literacy Education Programme, Yew Wah Early Mathematics Education Programme, Yew Wah English Programme, and Early Music and Movement and Physical Development programmes. A Primary School Preparation Programme supports the transition to primary education within the YWIEK network.

YWIEK uses an emergent curriculum approach that integrates health, social, language, science and art through student‑led exploration. The emergent curriculum emphasizes the teacher as facilitator, expanding children's interests through observation–reflection–response. It promotes cooperation and interaction among teachers, children and peers, and supports active, self‑initiated learning. Learning through play and a stimulating environment are described as fostering a healthy, cheerful personality and social development in a multicultural setting. The bilingual learning environment and language‑time activities (Chinese and English) support social communication and collaboration as part of SEL.

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding SEN provision. The site does not specify which kinds of Special Educational Needs (SEN) it can support, whether it operates as a specialist SEN institution, or what staffing and programmes exist for SEN students.

The school operates in a bilingual environment, with instruction and activities in both English and Chinese and staff from Western and Chinese backgrounds contributing to language development. The YWIEK Curriculum includes a Yew Wah English Programme as one of its unique activity programmes. Morning Talk / language time provides English and Chinese activities, supporting EAL development. The curriculum emphasises learning a second language as part of its pedagogy, with English and Chinese integrated into daily activities.

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding mental wellbeing programs or services. The campus offers a structured daily routine and physical activities as part of campus life, which contribute to students' overall development.

YWIEK Chongqing Rongke is described as a Child‑Safe School. There is a direct link on the site to Child Protection Policies and Procedures. The About YWIEK section also references Child Protection as a policy area, indicating safeguarding is a core policy focus of the school.

1. Admissions Process
- Step 1: Complete the Online Application. A parent completes the online enquiry form to arrange a school visit. This initial step initiates the processing of the child's record and schedules the next steps in the intake process. The admissions team will acknowledge the submission and guide you to the next steps.

- Step 2: Placement Assessment & Interviews. After the admissions team receives the completed application package, the child's placement assessment and interviews are arranged. Both the child and parent participate in the interview so the school can understand each child's needs and fit. Parents should anticipate potential discussion of the child's development, strengths, and areas for support during this assessment.

- Step 3: Application Review and Decision Notification. Following the interview, the school reviews the application and informs families of the placement decision. If offered placement, families receive a placement letter outlining next steps for enrollment. This stage ensures that both the child's needs and the family's expectations are aligned before registration.

- General note on admissions logistics. All children are interviewed with their parents as part of the process, ensuring a full understanding of the child's needs from the outset. The campus provides an online enquiry option to start the process and a brochure for reference.

3) Scholarships
- Network-wide scholarship program. YCYW Education Network offers scholarships to current and prospective students in recognition of academic achievement, leadership, and service. The program is available worldwide and can cover substantial portions of tuition, depending on the specific award. The broader aim is to support talented students across campuses and encourage active campus engagement.

- Types of scholarships (as of the 2025-2026 cycle). There are several categories:
- The Madam Tsang Chor-hang Memorial Scholarship (Overall Achievement Award): 50%–100% tuition fee waiver, up to four years.
- The YCYW Subject & Talent Award: 25%–50% tuition fee waiver, for one year.
- The IGCSE/IB/A Level Award: 50%–100% tuition fee waiver, for two to four years.
- Special Scholarships: Various campuses may establish additional awards as opportunities arise.

- Eligibility and applicant requirements. For these scholarships, both internal and external students in grades 7–13 (roughly middle to high school) are eligible. External applicants must submit admission materials and participate in the required tests (CEM and CPT) before applying for the scholarship. The selection uses a structured scoring framework and the campus may adjust minimum standards by campus.

- Kindergarten eligibility. The published scholarship framework targets older students (grades 7–13). There is no publicly documented kindergarten-specific scholarship in the available network materials. Families with younger children should inquire with the admissions office for the most current guidance on any age-appropriate awards.

2) Waitlist/Pool
- Public documentation does not describe a formal waitlist or pool system for Chongqing Rongke YWIEK. The published admissions steps are a three-stage process (online application, placement assessment with interviews, and decision notification), which suggests intake decisions are made through these steps rather than through a separate waitlist mechanism. Families should plan for the interview and offer timeline as part of the enrollment path. If you need clarification on waitlist status for a specific intake, contact the Admissions Office.
