Introduction

Beijing Aidi School (Beijing Aidi International School) is a K–12 school on the Beijing Aidi International Education Park campus at No.7 Louzizhuang Road in Chaoyang District. The school states it was founded in 1999 and enrols students aged 3–18. The campus houses a range of academic and sports facilities and an international high school offering multiple pathways (IGCSE, A‑level, WACE/Australian high school certificate, AP, BTEC and domestic high‑school programmes); the site notes the school's Australian high school (WACE) has been in place since 2004. The school publishes articles and a feature about student dorm life (student hostels) for senior students and a campus FAQ states it operates a school‑bus service for younger year groups. (All items above are taken from the school website.)

The Essentials

Beijing Aidi School has 3,000 pupils, typical class sizes of 22, instruction in English, Mandarin.

Location
Beijing Aidi School is located in Beijing's Chaoyang District on Louzizhuang Road inside the CBD International Education Park (address: No.7 Louzizhuang Road). The campus sits in the city's eastern business/education zone and is served by local roads and public transport links that connect to central Chaoyang — parents should allow extra time for peak-hour traffic when commuting. For contact and exact directions, the school lists its address and admissions contacts on its website.

Stages
The school operates as a K–12 campus (kindergarten through senior high), enrolling children roughly aged 3–18. Curriculum pages and department sections on the school site describe separate kindergarten, primary, junior middle and senior high divisions.

Type
Beijing Aidi is a private, co-educational school offering bilingual (Chinese–English) and international programme routes (including Australian and other international pathways). The school's materials and third‑party profiles indicate it runs day provision and also provides dormitory/boarding accommodation for some secondary students. Parents should confirm boarding availability and arrangements directly with admissions.

Additional learning support
The school website highlights ‘learning tracking' and ‘individualised development' and states it offers customised learning plans (described on the site as multiple tailored schemes for individual students). For details about formal SEN policy, specific therapies or one‑to‑one support, contact the school's admissions or student‑support team because the website gives an overview rather than a full SEN policy.

Country affiliation
The school was founded as a Sino–Australian (China–Australia) government‑level cooperative education project; its site notes historical ties with Australian education partners. It is operated in China under private school registration.

Religious affiliation
No religious affiliation is listed on the school's public materials; the school presents itself as a secular, non‑religious institution.

School day structure
Published profiles give a typical school day around 08:40–16:20 (start mid‑morning to mid/late afternoon) with usual lesson blocks and extracurricular slots; the official website describes department timetabling in general terms but does not publish a detailed daily timetable online. Families should check the current term timetable with admissions before relocating.

Bus service
Third‑party school profiles and the school's contact information indicate a school bus service is available for students; routes and stops are organised by the school and vary by neighbourhood. If you need school‑bus coverage for a particular address, ask admissions for the latest route map, pickup points, fees and safety/insurance arrangements.

Fees

Annual tuition at Beijing Aidi School ranges from RMB 159,000 to RMB 318,500 for 2026/27.

Application fees
- No specific non‑refundable application/registration fee or a published one‑time enrolment deposit is listed in the public fee summaries located for Beijing Aidi School. The fee listings available to the public show annual tuition and ancillary charges but do not publish a distinct application fee amount.

Tuition fees by year group (annual amounts and per‑term breakdowns)
- The school publishes fees as annual totals for each division and program. The figures below are the published annual totals; per‑term amounts are provided as simple divisions of the annual total for convenience (annual ÷ 2 for a two‑semester year, and annual ÷ 3 for a three‑term year). These per‑term figures are computed for reference and are inferred from the published annual fees.

- Kindergarten (Early Years)
- Published annual tuition: RMB 159,000.
- Per term (if billed in two semesters): RMB 79,500.
- Per term (if billed in three terms): RMB 53,000.

- Primary school (base tuition and typical full/board packages)
- Published base annual tuition (day/academic tuition): RMB 186,000.
- Typical additional annual items shown in published breakdowns: accommodation charge options, meal charges, textbook and practice fees (details below).
- Example published total annual cost for a boarding primary student (assembled from the breakdown): RMB 233,500 (this reflects tuition + accommodation/management + meals + other listed items in the published breakdown).
- Per term (two semesters) — base tuition: RMB 93,000; boarding total example: RMB 116,750.
- Per term (three terms) — base tuition: RMB 62,000; boarding total example: RMB 77,833.

- Junior / Middle school (program‑dependent)
- Bilingual class published annual tuition: RMB 223,000 (approx.). Published total annual cost for boarding bilingual students in examples: RMB 252,500.
- Arts program published annual tuition: RMB 243,000 (approx.); boarding total examples show ~RMB 272,500.
- Music program published annual tuition: RMB 258,000 (approx.); boarding total examples show ~RMB 287,500.
- Per term (two semesters) and (three terms) are the annual numbers divided by 2 or 3 respectively (examples above are annual figures divided for reference).

- High school (program / pathway variation)
- Australian WACE / standard international tracks: published tuition examples around RMB 227,000–248,000 depending on year/program and class (examples show program totals: e.g., total package RMB 260,500 with tuition portion RMB 227,000).
- American / UK / specialised arts and music high school pathways show different published annual tuition levels (examples range from ~RMB 155,000 for some domestic bilingual tracks up to ~RMB 318,500 for international music programs when total program charges are included).
- Per term figures should be derived from the above annual totals by dividing by 2 or 3 as applicable.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The public fee breakdowns accessed list annual totals and itemised annual charges but do not publish a school‑level billing calendar (for example, how many instalments are offered, exact invoice dates, or late‑payment penalties) in the material available. Where per‑term billing is required by a family, per‑term amounts can be derived from the annual sums shown above; the school's specific invoicing schedule and any deposit/non‑refundable portion are not published in the accessible fee summaries.

Boarding fees (where applicable)
- Boarding is offered and the public breakdowns show both per‑item accommodation charges and assembled boarding‑package totals:
- Primary boarding example: published assembled total ~RMB 233,500/year (includes tuition + accommodation + meal/other charges).
- Published accommodation items cited separately include small accommodation fees for weekend‑not‑staying vs full‑boarding, accommodation management fees, and meal charges; sample line items include figures such as accommodation amounts RMB 6,000 (weekend not staying) or RMB 11,200 (full board component), and an accommodation management charge shown at around RMB 20,000 in illustrative breakdowns.
- Published boarding totals for middle and high school specialty programs are shown in the same source as program‑specific totals (examples above).

Other costs and routinely listed ancillary charges
- The public breakdowns show auxiliary annual items commonly added to the base tuition in published examples. Typical published items and example amounts (annual) include:
- Meals / dining plan: Kindergarten example RMB 14,000/year; primary day student meal example RMB 10,800/year; primary boarding meal example RMB 18,000/year.
- Textbooks and materials: sample line item RMB 10,000/year in primary examples.
- Uniforms: sample line item RMB 3,500 (one‑off / annual uniform allowance shown in examples).
- Transport / school bus (optional): sample line item RMB 12,500/year.
- Instrument or specialised practice fees (optional): sample line items include RMB 12,800/year (piano/individual programme fees) and substantial practice/project fees for some programs (examples up to RMB 58,000 for special practice courses in some programme descriptions).
- Other small incidental or course practice fees: e.g., RMB 4,000 for course practice in primary examples.
- These amounts appear consistently in the public fee breakdowns as optional or program‑specific add‑ons; the exact applicability depends on the program and whether the student is boarding or day.

Refund information
- A specific, school‑published refund policy (exact refund percentages, timelines and the mechanics for returning fees) was not located in the publicly available fee summaries accessed. Beijing municipal guidance requires schools to publish and follow fee/ refund management rules and specifies that schools must have refund procedures in place; local government guidance also sets out common refund calculation approaches used by some Beijing schools when students withdraw shortly after the start of a term. The accessible fee summaries for Beijing Aidi School do not reproduce a school‑specific refund table or schedule in the material reviewed.

Fee payment options
- The publicly available fee summaries accessed for Beijing Aidi School do not list the school's accepted payment methods (for example, whether they accept credit card, bank transfer, Alipay/WeChat, cross‑border USD payments, or other channels). No explicit payment‑method details were published in the fee breakdowns reviewed.

Short summary of findings and missing items
- Found: clear published annual tuition totals and itemised example breakdowns for kindergarten, primary, middle and multiple high‑school program pathways (figures and illustrative assembled totals are provided above). The primary sources providing these breakdowns include independent education portals that republish the school's published fee components and sample assembled totals.
- Not found in the publicly accessible fee summaries reviewed: a specific published application/registration fee amount, an explicit school billing calendar (exact invoice dates, instalment schedule), an explicit list of accepted payment channels, and a detailed school‑level refund schedule. For these items, no school‑level public statement was located in the fee summaries accessed.
Academics

Beijing Aidi School teaches Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A Levels, Australian Curriculum, Advanced Placement (AP), BTEC Qualification, Chinese National Curriculum, Bespoke Curriculum for students aged 3 to 18.

Curriculum
Beijing Aidi School runs a bilingual K–12 programme that integrates Chinese-language education with international streams across kindergarten, primary and secondary stages. At primary and lower‑secondary levels the school follows a bilingual curriculum that prepares students for international external examinations before moving into formal secondary qualifications (including IGCSE-style study). For senior secondary students Aidi offers multiple diploma pathways — including A-Levels, AP (U.S. course options), the Australian WACE (Western Australian Certificate of Education), vocational BTEC Level 3, and Hong Kong DSE — and it also delivers an NCUK International Foundation Year for pre‑university progression. The school is authorised to deliver and host international test preparation and exam services (AP/ACT/SAT support and language tests such as IELTS/TOEFL) to support university entry. In addition to academic tracks, the curriculum includes STEM, arts and sports programmes plus a wide set of elective and extracurricular options (the school cites project‑based STEAM, arts specialisms and a 1+X elective model).

Admissions

Admissions
1. Initial inquiry & visit. Contact the admissions office to request current admissions materials, schedule an on‑campus visit or attend an open day, and confirm which programme(s) you are applying to (kindergarten, bilingual primary, IGCSE/A‑Level, WACE/Australian, US/AP, or arts pathways). Parents should check whether the intake for their child's year group is open and whether the school is admitting local (Beijing) and/or non‑local students for that intake. Aidi publishes event/registration notices and encourages families to visit or make an appointment before applying.

2. Complete the online/paper application. Families complete the school's application form (online or downloadable from admissions) and submit required basic information; the school records intent and schedules the next steps (assessment or interview). Ask admissions in advance which version of the form applies to your child's pathway (e.g., international high‑school tracks versus domestic bilingual class). The school's admissions pages and third‑party summaries repeatedly list online/telephone reservation and form submission as the first formal step.

3. Gather and submit required documents. Typical documents the school asks for are: passport or national ID, current visa/residence permit (for non‑Chinese nationals), most recent school reports/transcripts, birth certificate, vaccination/health record, and school‑transfer or graduation certificates as applicable; Beijing local students may also need the district “five documents” (五证) or other local paperwork for school‑record (学籍) registration. Confirm the exact document list with admissions before you submit; different programmes and nationalities often require slightly different paperwork. Multiple admissions guides and local portals note the five‑certificate requirement for non‑local to local registration—parents should prepare originals and certified translations if needed.

4. Entrance assessment and language check. Aidi requires an entry evaluation that typically includes a written test and an interview; international tracks normally include English language assessment and subject checks (maths, English comprehension, and sometimes subject tests for older students). Younger applicants (KG/Primary) commonly have an interview/observation and simple readiness tasks rather than full formal exams. The school's public profile and admissions summaries explicitly state that entrance tests plus interviews are used to determine placement and any language support needed.

5. Special‑pathway checks (programme‑specific requirements). If you apply to a specialised pathway (A‑Level, WACE/Australian, US/AP or arts high‑school), expect additional requirements such as portfolio submissions for arts, demonstrated subject grades for A‑Level/AP, or minimum English thresholds (some pages report IELTS/placement guidance). Where language thresholds are not met, the school runs a language/bridge programme (language centre or pre‑session) that many families use before full entry to the international curriculum. Check the precise academic/portfolio/English minimums for the pathway you want—these differ by programme and year level.

6. Offer, acceptance and payment to secure a place. If the school offers a place you will receive formal enrolment paperwork; schools commonly require parents to return a signed acceptance and to pay a deposit or the invoiced tuition amount to secure the seat. The exact deposit amount and refund policy are not consistently published on third‑party pages, so confirm the current payment terms, timelines for payment, and whether there is a non‑refundable component before you accept. Contact admissions to get the latest invoice and written payment terms for your child's offer.

7. Registration, placement and additional assessment. After payment and acceptance the school completes administrative registration, assigns classes, and—if needed—places students into English support groups or sets up individualized learning plans. Parents should ask about arrival‑date orientation, uniform lists, health/medical form deadlines, and whether textbooks or digital devices are included or billed separately. The school's profiles note that learning support and differentiated placement are part of the post‑offer process.

8. Boarding, transport and meal arrangements (if applicable). If you plan to board, confirm room availability, the boarding fee schedule, weekend‑stay options, and any additional administration or management fees; if using school buses, ask about routes, fees and pickup‑drop rules. Multiple fee tables and school summaries list boarding and meal charges separately from base tuition—parents should budget for these extras and confirm the billing schedule with admissions/finance.

9. Visa, local registration and school records for non‑local families. Non‑Beijing families should confirm whether the school will assist with local school‑record (学籍) processes and what documents are needed to register with the district education authorities; some classes or programmes have different eligibility for local registration. If your child is not a Chinese national, verify visa/permit rules for study and whether in‑country guardianship rules apply. Admissions materials and local guides recommend starting these steps early because local paperwork and district approvals can take time.

10. Orientation and term start. Attend the school's scheduled orientation for parents and students (dates are set each year) and complete any outstanding forms (medical, emergency contacts, bus/meal signups). Confirm the school calendar, uniform delivery timeframe and the school's communication channel (parent portal / WeChat / email) so you receive start‑of‑term updates. The school publishes regular admissions calendars and asks families to follow those timelines for a smooth start.

Scholarships
Yes — Aidi publishes and is reported to run entrance/award scholarships for incoming students, including a high‑school scholarship programme tied to Beijing senior‑middle exam (中考) performance. Public reporting on the school's scholarship initiatives (often called a '奖学金计划' or in some reporting a '千万奖学金计划') shows structured awards for Beijing students who meet stated mid‑school exam thresholds; media and education portals have listed example tiers such as 120,000 RMB/year (or per year amounts reported) for top scorers and lower tiers (e.g., 70,000; 50,000; 30,000 RMB) for other score ranges. These scholarship schemes are typically programme‑ and year‑specific and often require Beijing academic registration (学籍) and application to particular school pathways; amounts, eligibility and application deadlines have varied by year in public announcements. Because the school's scholarship rules and the amounts can change, if you are interested in financial awards ask admissions for the current scholarship brochure (eligibility criteria, how awards are applied to fees, whether awards renew each year, and any conditions tied to Beijing residency or exam results).

Waitlist
Publicly available admissions materials for Beijing Aidi School do not publish a formal, detailed waitlist policy that I could find. The school's admissions notices and third‑party summaries describe a staged/rolling admissions cycle and the use of assessment rounds with subsequent '补录' (additional offers) when places open, which is common practice for busy Beijing international schools. Because the school does not appear to post a standard waitlist procedure online, families who are told a year group is full should contact admissions directly and ask (a) whether they operate a formal waitlist, (b) how candidates are prioritised (e.g., by application date, assessment score, sibling link or programme fit), and (c) how often the school releases additional places after initial offers. For the most reliable guidance about your child's specific case, request written confirmation from the admissions office about how they handle full cohorts and waiting applicants.
