About international schools in Beijing, China

Canadian-curriculum international schools in Beijing typically deliver a Canadian provincial framework (frequently New Brunswick or other provincial standards) taught mainly in English alongside regular Mandarin lessons and English-as-an-additional-language support. Many of these schools combine the Canadian curriculum structure with internationally recognised programmes such as the International Baccalaureate in upper years, and they are organised to serve expatriate families while operating within Chinese regulations about student eligibility. Published fee schedules for these schools sit in the same broad band as other Beijing internationals - indicative figures run from roughly CNY 110,000 - 140,000 for some bilingual/younger-year options to well over CNY 330,000 for senior secondary places, with extras such as enrolment, bus and activity fees added separately. Families should expect application windows for an August/September start to open many months in advance, with assessments and interviews used to place transfer students and rolling mid-year entry commonly offered where space is available.

FAQs for China

How does a Canadian curriculum in Beijing differ from other international curricula?
A Canadian curriculum follows the learning standards of a Canadian province (for example New Brunswick or Ontario) so it emphasises provincial outcomes, credit requirements and a continuous assessment model that maps to Canadian secondary diplomas. Many Beijing schools that deliver a Canadian framework also offer international qualifications such as the IB Diploma or school-specific pathways, so check whether the school issues provincial credits directly or teaches a Canadian approach within an international programme.
What language(s) are lessons delivered in, and what language support is offered?
Instruction is usually primarily in English, with structured Mandarin taught as a second language and dedicated EAL (English as an additional language) provision for non-native speakers. Schools commonly use standardised language checks or WIDA-style assessments during admissions to place students in the right support classes.
How much should we budget for tuition and extra costs?
Tuition for Canadian-curriculum international schools in Beijing sits within the wider international-school banding: some younger-year or bilingual programmes can fall into the CNY 110,000 - 220,000 range, while published senior secondary fee schedules show places that may exceed CNY 330,000; additional cost lines include application/registration fees, meals, transport and extracurriculars. Always confirm the current published fees and the school’s refund and payment policies with the admissions office before committing.
What is the usual admissions timeline and process for relocating families?
Schools typically open priority application windows many months before an August/September intake, with popular year groups filling early, but most Beijing international schools also operate rolling admissions for mid-year entries where places exist. Admissions generally require an application, previous school reports, an interview or observation and age-appropriate academic and language assessments to determine placement.
What should parents look for when comparing Canadian schools in Beijing?
Look for clear information about which Canadian provincial curriculum is used and whether the school issues provincially recognisable credits or an internationally recognised alternative, robust language support (EAL/Mandarin), accreditation or inspection reports, and published university-counselling outcomes. Also check eligibility rules (some international schools register for foreign-passport holders only), recent fee schedules, and how well the school supports mid-year transfers to make sure credits and grade placements will transfer smoothly.
