School Origin

Yinyang Education Corporation, China, arrived in the Pacific Northwest in 2012. They quickly fell in love with the rich landscape and the cultural atmosphere.

In 2013, Taiwan's first Association Montessori International (AMI) teacher trainer, Yu Yunxiang, joined the professional design team for the overall planning of the school. She received her training from Bergamo, Italy, and based her work on the principles of the Montessori pedagogical approach.

Our school was inaugurated in May 2014. This modern facility complements the surrounding area and its natural features. The quiet, peaceful elegance of the overall environment provides a place for the children to learn, both independently and from one another.

Eyas opened its doors in September 2014. Back then, there were 4 students, and many more have come through the school since.

Cougar Mountain Montessori (CMM), a local Montessori school that had been in operation for over 35 years, merged with the Eyas organization in April 2015.

The collaboration of the CMM and Eyas team has created a positive place for staff, families, children, and the community. Since then, we have enjoyed working together to achieve the goal of diversity, respect, and cooperation, which honors the Montessori philosophy.
