Why Give to Yu Ming
Yu Ming’s break-through model for schools is changing futures in Oakland, California and making an impact on the national landscape of Chinese-immersion and intentionally diverse schools. Our consistently strong academic results show how we are closing the opportunity gap and creating high-quality, high-impact educational options for all our students regardless of background.
Through dual language immersion, academic excellence, personalized learning and integrated social emotional learning, Yu Ming is preparing all our students to be bilingual and bicultural global leaders who use their education to make a positive difference in the world.
Yu Ming Charter School is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and your donation is tax-deductible (Tax ID: 27-4260393).
