Washington Yu Ying Public Charter School was granted a charter by the District of Columbia Public Charter School Board in June 2007 and will open its doors in September 2008. Yu Ying—which means "nurturing excellence" in Chinese—will offer instruction in Mandarin and English on alternating days. The school will eventually seek to enroll 700 students from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade and adopt the International Baccalaureate Primary Years and Middle Years programs. Yu Ying will provide Washington, DC, students—many of whom face poverty and other educational challenges—with access to the type of education usually found in elite private schools. The school is seeking corporate support for its facility, cultural, and curriculum budgets and is searching for individuals interested in supporting the school's outreach efforts through membership on its advisory board. Parents interested in bilingual Chinese-English education for their children are also encouraged to contact Yu Ying. Yu Ying is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, nonprofit organization, and donations to the school are tax deductible.
