Yuying Secondary School is a 107 year old government-aided school steeped in Chinese history, culture and tradition. The school embraces the philosophy that all students can be nurtured and their talents cultivated so that they can contribute to society. The school believes in providing a holistic education that anchors its students firmly in the school values of 'Integrity, Resilience, Respect and Responsibility' (IR3), through its strong Character and Citizenship Education Progamme, and its focus on critical and inventive thinking. As signified by its emblem of a soaring eagle, the school seeks to produce students who are not just academically able but are also wholesome in character, strong and resilient even in the face of adversities and always soaring towards greater heights. It also adopts an active approach in developing students to be leaders in the school and of the community, with a passion to serve.

In line with the school's vision, 'Enterprising Learners for Excellence', the school's Applied Learning Programme (ALP) seeks to foster critical and inventive thinking and an entrepreneurial spirit through a comprehensive 3-year structured programme that is offered to all students. Students are taught the fundamental skills and processes of Design Thinking through the Design and Technology curriculum and Project Work. The school is on board the YES! (Young Entrepreneurs Scheme for Schools)programme, leveraging on its Design and Entrepreneurship Club and adopted by Koufu Pte Ltd and Innervative Learning Pte Ltd under an `Entrepreneur-Adopt-a-School' initiative to provide entrepreneurship education to her students. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) `Totally Wholesome Engaged and Empowered Teens' (TWEETS) is another signature programme offered to all students. It seeks to provide students with a holistic experience through their active involvement in Values in Action (ViA) activities as part of the school's Character and Citizenship Education Programme. Through EPIC (Equipping, Planning, Initiating and Closure), students acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to plan, initiate and execute a ViA project. It also provides them with a platform to practise and live out the school values and to network and collaborate with external organizations. Through its LLP, the school seeks to make community and youth leadership more pervasive and to foster a culture of volunteerism. The school is also on board the `Whole School Approach to Effective Communication' (WSA-EC), to provide a conducive environment for the learning of the English Language.
