Y.P. Winfield was established in 1988 by three close friends: Daisy Phandi, Mariaty Yananto, and Moniju Teh. Under Divine guidance, these three friends sought to create an environment where not only the English language was taught but crucial character traits were instilled and nurtured in their students. They yearned to glorify God by investing in the lives of young people and thus, give back to their community and country. In this way they would be a blessing to others and fulfill a calling to serve their Lord Jesus Christ.
