Why choose YES's competition and scientific research guidance?
Vancouver's #1 Centre for Competition Training
YES is the only educational institution in Vancouver to have achieved the "grand slam" of seeing our students selected for Canada's National Teams in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology for the International Olympiads. For many years running, YES students have secured nearly all the championship titles in Canada's national chemistry and biology competitions, as well as achieving Canada's top results at the International Olympiads.
The Most Comprehensive Range of Academic Competition Coaching in Greater Vancouver.
The courses cover almost all the subjects of the most common academic competitions for middle school students, including liberal arts, mathematics, physics, computer science, chemistry, and biology, from low-level competitions held by universities to high-level national Olympic competitions.
A Team of National Award-Winning Coaches
Preparing for academic competitions is challenging and requires hard work. The YES Competition Team is made up of expert coaches who have trained award-winning students in their subjects. They have deep knowledge and years of experience, but more importantly, they are known for their practical, hands-on, and responsible teaching style.
