IB Curriculum International Schools in Beijing, China

IB-curriculum international schools in Beijing most commonly teach some or all of the IB continuum (Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma programmes) and are typically English-medium while offering substantial Mandarin language teaching or bilingual tracks. Annual tuition at established international schools in the city commonly sits in the mid-to-high RMB hundreds of thousands, with many schools publishing headline tuition bands around RMB 193,000 - 305,000 and premium places above that; extras such as meals, transport and capital levies frequently add a sizeable additional cost. Admissions follow an annual rhythm centred on the August/September school year start, but many schools will accept mid-year transfers where space allows; entry usually involves an application, one or more assessments and family interviews. Relocating families should note that many international schools are authorised to enrol children of foreign nationals only and that visa, guardianship and local registration requirements for non-resident families are handled through Beijing municipal procedures.
