For exact school‑day hours and a sample timetable, the admissions office (bibsadmissions‑sy@bibs.com.cn) should be contacted.	School day structure Typical arrival and lesson times vary by level but follow a consistent pattern: students generally arrive between about 7:30–8:00, lessons begin around 8:00, and there is a mid‑morning break and a lunch period around 11:00–12:30. Primary pupils typically finish in the mid‑afternoon (around 14:40–15:00), while secondary/international students have classes and activities that run until late afternoon (around 16:50) with evening study hall for boarders and a lights‑out/curfew schedule for boarding students.

Billing schedule and payment terms - Published program information shows fees presented either per academic year or per semester depending on the program; some program pages list fees on a per‑semester basis for high‑school streams and per‑year for primary/middle. Ancillary items (uniforms, bedding, initial training) are often collected as one‑time or pre‑collected charges. Refunds and payment methods - No publicly posted, detailed refund policy or comprehensive list of accepted payment methods was located in the school's public downloads or the program summaries reviewed. Parents should note that some published items are described as “pre‑collected” and “settled on actual receipt,” indicating adjustments may be made at intake but no standard refund text was found in available summaries.

Curriculum details	Curriculum details Beanstalk International Bilingual School (Shunyi) integrates the Chinese National Education Program with IB inquiry- and project-based approaches to deliver a bilingual “BIBS+” pathway across 15 years of education from kindergarten through senior high. For early years (BIK, roughly ages 2–5) the school uses a balanced/early‑years programme that draws on PYP concepts with bilingual immersion. Primary students (about ages 6–12, elementary/G1–G6) follow the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), teaching core subjects through inquiry in both English and Chinese. Middle school (IB MYP, roughly ages 11–16, G6–G9/G10) continues the MYP framework with subject-based learning, interdisciplinary projects and bilingual delivery. Senior high (G11–G12, ages 16–19) offers the IB Diploma Programme (DP); the campus is WASC‑approved and issues a senior‑high diploma described as equivalent to a US high‑school diploma, with college counselling for university placement.	Curriculum details Beijing Shuren Ribet operates both a bilingual Chinese–English pathway and a separate international pathway across K–12. Bilingual provision covers Kindergarten K1–K3, Primary Grades 1–6 and Middle Grades 7–9; the international pathway lists International Kindergarten K1–K3, Primary G1–G5, Middle G6–G8 and International High G9–G12. The school's international high-school program implements the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) for Grades 9–12 in partnership with Rosedale Academy; graduates receive the OSSD. The school combines Chinese compulsory curriculum and moral/character education with native‑English instruction, STEAM and school‑based courses, traditional Chinese studies and additional offerings such as American business education and extracurricular clubs. Graduates of the OSSD program are positioned to apply to Canadian and other international universities and the program description notes pathways and conditional early acceptances via partner institutions.

Social & emotional learning	Social & emotional learning Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is described as a core part of the BIBS curriculum and is integrated into the Elementary programme. The site states that Years 6–10 receive a special SEL programme developed by the school psychologists to cover relationships and emotional development. The Student Welfare and Development Department is said to include psychologists and learning‑support staff who deliver or refer SEL work as needed. The school notes that SEL work has been a particular focus during and after COVID‑19 to meet student needs. Source: school Student Welfare & Pastoral Care page.	Social & emotional learning Shuren-Ribet describes character education and “EQ education” (moral education, respect for life, volunteer and social-practice activities) as part of its campus programme and lists a range of extracurricular clubs and arts/sports activities that contribute to students' social and emotional development. The school's faculty page states a stable, experienced teaching team that the school says implements the school's teaching concept “Fill Shuren campus with love,” which the site links to pastoral and moral education work. News items and event pages (e.g., whole-school and department activity reports) show leadership and teachers running wellbeing- and arts-based activities to build confidence and social skills. These references are presented on the school website but the site does not publish a separate, detailed SEL curriculum document.
Special educational needs (SEN)	Special educational needs (SEN) The school's Student Welfare and Development Department is described as including psychologists and learning‑support staff, and grade‑level leaders/personal tutors are used to manage and refer student issues. The website explains that particular concerns are initially managed by Grade Level Leaders and then referred to the Student Welfare Department as required. The site does not list specific categories of special educational needs (for example, dyslexia, autism spectrum, ADHD) that the school can support, nor does it state that BIBS Shunyi is a specialist SEN institution. Therefore the school does not publicly disclose detailed information about which precise SEN conditions it supports. Source: Student Welfare & Pastoral Care page.	Special educational needs (SEN) The school does not publicly disclose information regarding Special Educational Needs (SEN). The Shuren‑Ribet website does not provide a dedicated SEN policy or a published list of the types of additional needs it can support, nor does it identify itself as a specialist SEN institution. For admissions and school policies the site publishes a general Admission Policy page, but that page does not describe SEN provision or specialist staffing. For families requiring SEND-specific information the site lists contact details for admissions and enquiries.
English as an additional language	English as an additional language The school describes a bilingual approach and notes the use of native English‑speaking teachers as part of its programmes on the Shunyi site. The site does not, however, set out a specific EAL/ESL programme, dedicated EAL staff, or explicit EAL entry/withdrawal support on the publicly available pages. Consequently, the school does not publicly disclose detailed information about targeted EAL provision on the Shunyi English website. Source for bilingual/native teachers statement: school homepage; absence of EAL programme details: Student Welfare/Core Curriculum pages.	English as an additional language Shuren‑Ribet publishes bilingual and international programmes across key stages and specifically states that the Middle School runs a focused ESL programme using American school textbooks and the DynEd online English programme to extend students' English learning. The main site also describes bilingual primary provision with English courses taught by native English speakers and an international kindergarten that provides an immersion ESL learning environment with foreign homeroom teachers. These programme descriptions are presented on the school's curriculum and middle‑school pages. The site does not publish a separate, detailed EAL policy document, but it does describe these stated in‑school EAL/ESL provisions.
Mental wellbeing	Mental wellbeing The school states that its Student Welfare and Development Department includes psychologists who deliver SEL classes and respond to student needs, with a focus on communication with parents and referral processes for more complex issues. It explains that in Elementary the homeroom teacher is the first contact for care and that at Middle/High School personal tutors and Grade Level Leaders provide continuity of care. The site explicitly notes increased demands on school psychologists during the COVID‑19 period and the provision of a psychologist‑developed programme for Years 6–10. The website does not publish a full description of any external clinical services or a detailed mental‑health policy for students. Source: Student Welfare & Pastoral Care page.	Mental wellbeing The school website records specific wellbeing activities: a Middle School “May Wellness Month” focused on art, music and emotional expression, and an International High School psychological group‑counselling event (“New Year's Clock”) using OH Cards for self‑reflection and goal setting. Both items on the news pages describe school leaders and instructors running these activities and emphasise emotional regulation, self‑awareness and stress relief through arts and structured group work. These items indicate active, staff‑led wellbeing programming rather than a standalone published mental‑health policy. For individual clinical support or counselling details the site does not publish a clear, dedicated counselling-service policy.
Safeguarding	Safeguarding The school does not publicly disclose information regarding safeguarding and child protection on the English Shunyi campus website.	Safeguarding The school website lists campus safety facilities—24h security service, dormitory provision and school buses—and describes routine student supervision through daily schedules and boarding arrangements. These facility and campus‑life pages are the only explicit safety‑related references published on the site. The site does not publish a clearly labelled child‑protection or standalone safeguarding policy that is publicly accessible from the main pages. For formal safeguarding or child‑protection procedures the website directs enquiries to the school contact details and the published admission/policy section.

History	History BIBS Shunyi (Tianzhu Campus) was founded in 2009 and is operated under the Beanstalk Education Group. The campus description on the school site lists around 600+ students, a campus area of about 7,000 m² and facilities such as a library, indoor stadium, tennis court, science lab, music room and theatre/dance studio. The site also notes a teacher–student ratio of about 1:5. BIBS Shunyi is presented on the school website as accredited for the IB PYP, MYP and DP programmes and as WASC approved.	History Beijing Shuren Ribet Private School was founded in 1993 and is described on its website as one of the oldest private schools in Beijing. It operates as a K–12 institution with kindergarten, primary, middle and high school divisions and a garden‑style campus in Songzhuang, Tongzhou District. Over time the school has integrated Chinese traditional courses with international programs, developed partnerships with mainly North American schools and established an American “Shuren Base.” The site also records several formal recognitions and program approvals (for example, IB MYP listing in 1999 and WASC candidacy reported around 2011).
Community	Community The school's News & Events page shows regular academic and community activity — recent items include student participation in events such as the United Nations Climate Conference (COP29), visits from university admissions representatives, and reports of university offers. The campus facilities and listed extracurricular pages indicate provision for sports, performing arts and science activities that support those events and student clubs. The school also links its news items to social channels (WeChat), which the site uses to share community updates and announcements.	Community The school's published materials describe a mixed Chinese and international student body and a broad set of extracurricular offerings (the website notes more than 50 student clubs and teams) set on a campus in the Songzhuang artists' area. School news and calendars show regular cultural and arts activities such as music workshops led by visiting musicians and school exhibitions. The school also documents community‑oriented activities and volunteer events, for example student visits to a local geriatric care centre.
Parent teacher association	Parent teacher association The Shunyi campus website does not publish a dedicated PTA page or detailed public schedule for a campus Parent–Teacher Association; a formal PTA section is not evident on the Shunyi site. The broader Beanstalk/BIBS network does note parent involvement at other campuses (for example, the Solana kindergarten explicitly mentions parental involvement through PTA and regular parent meetings). If you need specifics about a current PTA committee, parent volunteer groups, or regular parent-led events at the Shunyi campus (for example meetings, fundraising, cultural festivals or classroom-support rosters), the school lists an admissions contact you can use to request that information: bibsadmissions-sy@bibs.com.cn.	Parent teacher association The school website does not present a standalone PTA page; instead it emphasizes home–school cooperation and describes regular parent‑teacher meetings and parent–child activities organized at division level (for example in the kindergarten program). Teachers are said to provide individualized feedback to parents about student progress, and the school uses channels such as WeChat/Weibo and a message board for communications. Parents are also invited to larger school events that involve guidance on pathways and admissions—an example is the International Elite Education Exhibition held on May 18, 2025, which the school reports as a campus event linking students and families with overseas university representatives. In practice, then, parental involvement on the site appears to combine scheduled parent‑teacher meetings, family activity days, and participation in school fairs and information events rather than a single published PTA constitution or bylaws. If you'd like, I can search further (WeChat groups, parent handbook, or contact pages) to find any formal PTA structure or recent parent‑committee announcements.

Book a visit or request information: Parents should use the school's published booking channel (the website's “Book a Tour” / QR-code reservation guidance) to arrange a campus visit or initial enquiry. The English admissions FAQ on the Beanstalk/ BIBS site explicitly asks parents to scan the QR code to make an appointment on working days, and this is the fastest way to see the campus and speak with admissions staff. Scheduling a visit early is useful because availability and interview slots are managed by the admissions office. 2. Obtain and complete the application form / pack: The site says you can collect an application pack from the campus Admissions Office or download the application form from the website and submit it to the campus admissions office. Parents should read the application pack carefully because it will list required supporting documents (the admissions page refers to “other materials” to be submitted with the form). If you prefer, request the pack or form by email to the campus admissions contact before your visit so you can prepare documents in advance. 3. Prepare supporting documents: The admissions pages refer to submitting the application plus “other materials” to the campus admissions office but do not publish a full checklist online; contact admissions to confirm the exact list for your child. Be prepared to provide current/previous school records or transcripts, identification (passport/ID), and any language or assessment reports — and ask the school which specific documents they require for your child's year level. Confirm document translation and notarisation requirements (if any) with admissions before submission. 4. Assessment / interview scheduling: After the school receives an application and materials, Admissions will contact you to set the interview and assessment date. Entrance assessment content varies by year level: the school's FAQ lists the entrance requirements in broad terms — Kindergarten: age check; Elementary: age, language, maths, previous records and interview; Middle/High School: language, maths, previous records and interview — so plan for both an interview and some age-appropriate English/math checks for older children. Bring originals of documents to the interview and arrive prepared to discuss your child's recent school history and learning needs. 5. Results and offer: Following the assessment/interview, Admissions will advise whether a place is offered. The website describes the assessment stages but does not publish detailed timelines for when offers are sent, so ask admissions at your interview for the expected decision date and any deadlines for accepting an offered place. If an offer is made, confirm with Admissions what paperwork, signed acceptance forms, and payments (deposit/first term tuition, if applicable) are required to secure the place. 6. Acceptance, payment and enrolment formalities: The campus website does not publish a public fee schedule or the specific acceptance-payment steps for Shunyi, so parents should request the current fee schedule, deposit policy and payment deadlines directly from the Shunyi admissions office (email and phone are listed on the campus page). Before making payments, ask for a written fee schedule and the school's refund/cancellation policy in writing. Keep copies of signed acceptance forms and payment receipts for your records. 7. Mid-year entry and start dates: The admissions FAQ states that students can join at any point during the academic year subject to availability and meeting entrance requirements. If you plan a mid-term start, check class availability, curriculum catch-up arrangements, and whether the school runs assessments only at fixed intake points or on rolling dates. Confirm start date, timetable and any orientation arrangements so your child can integrate smoothly. 8. Special needs or language support and follow-up: If your child requires English-as-an-additional-language support, learning support, or has medical/health needs, disclose this early in the process and ask the admissions team how such needs are assessed and supported. The school's college-counselling and student-welfare pages (group-level) indicate structured support services, but specific support plans and staffing should be confirmed with Shunyi Admissions and the campus student welfare team. Ask for written details of the proposed support, monitoring, and review process before you accept a place.	Admissions 1. Initial enquiry and campus visit. Visiting the campus is recommended because the school runs multiple streams (bilingual and international) and capacity/age limits differ by division — confirming which stream you are applying to before you visit will save time. 2. Complete and submit the entry application. Shuren provides an entry application form and a PDF titled “Items Needed for Enrollment” on its Downloads page; pick up or download the form, complete it, and prepare the listed documents before your assessment appointment. Parents should check that they have originals and copies of identity documents, past-school records/transcripts, and any immigration documents for non‑Chinese nationals — the school's downloadable checklist is the authoritative list for what they require. 3. Assessment/interview stage. Assessment format depends on grade level: kindergarten applicants have parent-and-child interviews; primary applicants have an interview plus a test; middle‑ and high‑school applicants take an interview, an English digital test and written test papers (the school's admission policy lists these assessments by level). Prepare for the interview to include questions about learning habits and prior schooling; for older students, expect an English assessment and subject tests that will influence placement. 4. Offer and paperwork timeline. According to the school's stated procedure, students who pass the admission steps receive official enrollment paperwork within seven working days; ask admissions which document(s) constitute a binding offer and what deadlines apply for returning a signed acceptance. Parents should also confirm any required one‑time fees or deposits and the accepted payment methods before signing — these can change year to year and by program. 5. Fees and program differences (summary and how to confirm). The school's public admission pages and downloads do not publish a single up‑to‑date tuition table for every program; third‑party education listings show that fees vary widely by program (bilingual vs. international streams and by high‑school division). For example, third‑party listings (China Education Online and other school‑listing sites) report sample figures for recent years that differ by program — these sources list semester tuition and boarding/meal fees for different high‑school streams; use them only as indicative and confirm official rates with the Admissions Office. Always request a written fee schedule and a breakdown (tuition, boarding, meals, bus, one‑time development or registration fees) for the exact year and stream you are applying to. 6. Final registration and arrival. After you return the signed enrollment paperwork and required payments (if any), follow the school's Items Needed for Enrollment checklist to register on campus and complete administrative formalities (student ID, uniform, meal plan, bus registration). For international families, confirm visa/residence‑permit support and deadlines well before term start; if you need orientation or boarding arrangements, book those at the time you accept the offer.
Scholarships	Scholarships The Shunyi campus public pages do not publish an incoming-student scholarship or fee-remission programme. At the group level, Beanstalk/BIBS has public references to scholarship-style awards for graduating students (for example the Beanstalk “Green Vine” scholarship mentioned in the school yearbook) and the College Counselling service states it assists students in applying for university scholarships and financial support. However, there is no clear, published admissions-scholarship policy for new entrants to the Shunyi campus on the English or Chinese campus pages. If you want to pursue scholarship or financial-aid options, contact Shunyi Admissions and the College Counselling Office to ask whether any campus-level or group-level scholarships, merit awards, or financial-aid schemes are currently available, what the eligibility criteria are, and what application deadlines and supporting evidence are required. The two relevant references on the BIBS site are the college-counselling overview (which mentions help applying for scholarships) and the group yearbook/article that documents the Beanstalk Green Vine award; these illustrate that scholarship awards exist at the group level but do not confirm a standard incoming-student scholarship at Shunyi. For up-to-date, formal details request the campus' written policy or a fees-and-scholarship schedule from Admissions.	Scholarships There is no clear, public description of a school‑run scholarship program on the Shuren/Ribet admissions pages or in the downloadable admission materials; the school website does not show a dedicated scholarships page or published scholarship policy. Some private schools offer merit or need‑based awards, sibling discounts, or occasional entrance scholarships, but because Shuren's site does not list any, the only reliable way to confirm whether scholarships, fee concessions, or bursaries are available is to ask the Admissions Office directly and request written details (eligibility criteria, application deadlines, application materials, and whether the award is renewable). If you would like, admissions can also confirm whether there are external scholarship programmes or partner organisations that students typically apply to.
Waitlist	Waitlist The school's English admissions FAQ does not describe a formal waitlist or central ‘pool' system on the public pages; instead the site notes that mid-year admission is possible “subject to availability.” In practice this means the campus manages places at the programme/grade level and will advise parents of available places after assessment and interview. Because the website does not publish a waitlist policy or prioritisation rules, parents who are offered a place late or who are told no place is available should ask Admissions whether their child can be placed on a waiting list, the child's position on that list, and whether deposits or acceptance forms are required to hold a prospective place. For the most reliable, up-to-date information about waiting lists at the Shunyi campus, contact the campus admissions office directly (phone and email are listed on the campus page).	Waitlist The school's publicly available Admission Policy and download pages do not describe a formal waitlist or pool system; no explicit waitlist procedure appears on the admissions pages or downloads available from the school website. If a grade or program is full, many schools create a waiting list or open places only if accepted families later decline; because Shuren does not publish a standard waitlist policy, you should ask Admissions whether they maintain a waitlist for the specific grade and stream you are interested in, how candidates are ranked, and whether waitlist applicants must submit the same documents and assessments as initial applicants. Contact the Admissions Office (010-80856787 or info@shurenribet.org) for the school's current practice and any deadlines that affect waitlist priority.
