Introduction

Beijing Huijia Private School is a day‑and‑boarding private school in Beijing (157 Huaichang Rd, Changping District) that delivers the three authorised International Baccalaureate programmes — PYP, MYP and DP — across primary, middle and senior levels for students aged 5 to 18. The school uses a bilingual model in Chinese and English in its PYP and MYP stages, while DP courses are taught in English except for Chinese‑language subjects; the DP pathway includes a one‑year Pre‑IB programme followed by the two‑year Diploma Programme. Huijia integrates the IB framework with China's national curriculum standards and offers multiple language options (including Chinese and English and language courses such as Korean A1). The campus operates both day and boarding provision with community‑style accommodation, on‑site services and student transport; sports and specialist facilities cited on the school site include an on‑campus ice rink and indoor tennis provision, which support organised programmes such as the school's ice‑hockey training pathway.

The Essentials

Beijing Huijia Private School has 2,500 pupils, typical class sizes of 20, instruction in English, Chinese.

Location
Beijing Huijia Private School is in the northern suburb of Beijing in Changping District; the school's address is commonly given as No.157 (sometimes listed as 157/怀昌路/昌怀路) Changhuai/怀昌 Road, Changping. The campus is in the Zhongguancun / Changping science-park area and is described as a large, park-like campus surrounded by hills and waterways. Public-transport directions published for visitors point to Line 13 (Longze 龙泽 station) with a short bus transfer to the school and driving access from the G6/京藏 highway.

Stages
The school is a continuous K–12 / 3–18 provision offering IB programmes (PYP, MYP and DP) across its primary, middle and high school sections. It runs kindergarten through senior high (primary, lower-secondary and upper-secondary) on the same campus.

Type
Huijia is a private, co‑educational school that operates as both a day school and a boarding school (boarding places are available alongside day places). The school enrols both Chinese (mainland) and international students on the same campus.

Additional learning support
The school's public materials and reporting highlight student counselling and psychological services (a named counselling space described as a “心理咨询室/心语屋” with multiple counselling areas) and they describe personalised/individualised learning pathways. However, Huijia's public pages do not set out a clearly labelled, standalone Special Educational Needs (SEN) department or detailed SEN policy online; families with specific learning‑support needs should contact the admissions or student‑support office to discuss individual arrangements and available assessments.

Country affiliation
Huijia is a Beijing (China) private school; it is not affiliated with another country's education authority. The school reports that it accepts both mainland Chinese and non‑Chinese students.

Religious affiliation
The school is secular in its public materials; there is no stated religious affiliation on the school overviews and directories.

School day structure
Published school hours vary by division: for example, published schedules show primary (PYP) typically around 08:10–16:30, and middle/high (MYP/DP) hours reported around 08:00–17:00 (with some programme variations and extended hours for enriched tracks). Exact daily start/end times, lesson blocks and break/lunch arrangements differ by year group and programme, so check the current timetable with admissions.

Boarding Arrangements
The school provides boarding and day schooling.
Fees

Annual tuition at Beijing Huijia Private School ranges from RMB 110,000 to RMB 250,000 for 2026/27.

Application fees

- No specific non-refundable application or registration fee amount for Beijing Huijia Private School was found in the public admissions summaries and school profiles consulted; publicly available listings for the school do not publish an explicit application-fee figure.

Tuition fees (by programme / year group)

- IB PYP (international primary / 探究班小学): Tuition RMB 200,000 per year. Meal fee for boarding students listed as RMB 17,800 per year; walk‑in (day) meal fee RMB 8,800 per year in one source. Boarding fee for this stage listed as RMB 50,000 per year.

- IB MYP (middle school / 探究班初中): Tuition RMB 230,000 per year. Boarding fee listed as RMB 50,000 per year. Meal fee listed as RMB 19,600 per year.

- IB DP (high school / 大学预科): Tuition RMB 250,000 per year. Boarding fee listed as RMB 23,000 per year. One source notes weekend school bus service is provided free for boarders and a day‑student shuttle fee of RMB 15,000 per year. For DP the published note indicates day students manage meals separately (“伙食自理”).

- Fusion / bilingual (融合部) primary 1–6 (where reported): Tuition listed around RMB 110,000 per year; fusion junior figures reported around RMB 130,000 per year in secondary sources. These figures are presented in third‑party school listings cited below.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Publicly accessible summaries list annual tuition amounts by programme but do not provide a detailed, school‑published per‑term split or formal billing calendar in the materials consulted. Where other Beijing international schools split the year into two semester payments, a specific per‑term breakdown for Huijia was not located in the sources reviewed.

Boarding fees

- Boarding fees are reported above by programme (PYP RMB 50,000; MYP RMB 50,000; DP RMB 23,000 per year). Meal/boarding meal charges are separately listed for primary and middle programmes in the same sources.

Other costs (examples reported)

- Meal fees, day‑student meal options, day‑student shuttle/bus fees, and occasional charges for weekend bus or specialized services are reported in third‑party summaries. Specifics recorded: meal fees (e.g., RMB 17,800; RMB 19,600), day‑student shuttle RMB 15,000 (DP example). No single public source provided a comprehensive list of uniform, textbook deposit or one‑time new‑student kit charges for Huijia.

Refund information

- A formal refund/withdrawal policy or exact rules for deposit refund were not found in the public summaries consulted. Third‑party listings typically note amounts but do not reproduce the school's official refund terms.

Fee payment options

- Publicly available third‑party summaries consulted did not list explicit payment channels (bank transfer, credit card, Alipay/WeChat, etc.) for Huijia. No verified, detailed payment‑method statement was located in the materials reviewed.

Summary of sources and limitations: the figures above are taken from recent third‑party admissions and school‑profile pages summarizing Beijing Huijia Private School's 2024–2025 / 2025 listings. These summaries include programme‑level annual tuition and a limited set of boarding and meal figures; however, they do not publish a full term‑by‑term billing schedule, a clearly stated application fee amount, a refund policy, or an itemized list of uniforms/textbooks and accepted payment methods in the publicly available excerpts reviewed. For those missing items, the school's official fee schedule or admissions office would be the primary source for definitive, itemized policies.
Academics

Beijing Huijia Private School teaches IB (PYP), IB (MYP), IB (DP) for students aged 5 to 18.

Curriculum
Beijing Huijia Private School delivers a K–12 curriculum that follows the full International Baccalaureate continuum: Primary Years Programme (PYP) in primary, Middle Years Programme (MYP) in lower secondary and the Diploma Programme (DP) in upper secondary. These programmes follow the IB age/grade ranges (PYP 3–12, MYP 11–16, DP 16–19), so primary pupils study inquiry-based PYP units, middle-school students follow the MYP subject-group framework, and senior students prepare for DP assessment. The DP at Huijia culminates in externally assessed examinations and offers subject choices across the DP groups plus the TOK/Extended Essay/CAS core. The school also teaches China's national curriculum requirements in parallel and operates a bilingual English–Chinese model across stages. Huijia's IB registration shows typical DP subject options (sciences, mathematics, languages, individuals and societies and the arts), and the school operates both boarding and day‑school pathways.
Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
The school's PYP curriculum page states the primary school “focuses on the development of students' physical, social and emotional well‑being” and presents wellbeing within the IB learner-profile framework (e.g., caring, balanced, reflective). The page describes a differentiated, inquiry‑based PYP intended to support social and emotional development rather than listing a separate branded SEL programme. Pastoral and wellbeing items are presented alongside other school‑life functions (boarding, health care) on the school site. Public pages emphasise IB approaches to character and wellbeing but do not detail a named SEL curriculum or specific SEL staff roles.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision. The publicly available curriculum and school‑life pages consulted (PYP/MYP/DP and Health Care sections) describe differentiated teaching and pastoral care but do not specify formal learning‑support teams, categories of SEN supported, or whether the school is a specialist SEN institution. Because those specifics are not published on the pages reviewed, we cannot confirm which types of SEN the school can support or the existence of specialist SEN services. For verification you may wish to contact the school directly.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
The school describes its primary division as bilingual and its curriculum listing shows English designated as Language B in middle and high school (MYP/DP), indicating English instruction is part of the programme. A 2025 school announcement about receiving returning international students says the school has developed strategies to address language‑level concerns for those students. The site therefore shows bilingual/IB language provision and a stated intention to support language needs in transfers, but it does not publish a named EAL/ESL programme or detailed staffing for EAL on the public pages reviewed. If you need precise EAL programme details (assessment, withdrawal/inline support, teacher qualifications), the school should be contacted directly.

Mental Wellbeing
The archived Health Care section of the school website includes a link for “Psychological Consultations,” indicating that counselling/psychological support has been part of published school services. The PYP curriculum page also explicitly links primary provision to students' social and emotional wellbeing. A 2025 school announcement discussing the reception of returning international students notes the school considered families' concerns about language and psychological health when creating its support strategy. Public pages reviewed do not, however, publish detailed information about counsellor staffing, referral pathways, or counselling protocols, so those operational details are not publicly verifiable from the pages consulted.
Parent Experience

History
Beijing Huijia Private School was established in 1993 as a privately operated school and has grown from an initial primary division into a combined K–12 day-and‑boarding institution. The school was founded under the Huijia education group; historical accounts name Wang Zhize among the school's founding leaders. Huijia was an early adopter of the International Baccalaureate and is listed as an IB World School with authorization dating to 1997. Over the 2000s it expanded its enrollment and facilities and, by the 2010s, had formal permission to enroll both Chinese and non‑Mainland (foreign) students.

Community
The school community is a mix of Chinese and international students and staff; recent profiles and school listings report on the school's scale (around 75 teaching classes and roughly two thousand students, with several hundred faculty and staff). Huijia runs regular parent‑facing events such as campus open days and principal meet‑and‑greet sessions, and curriculum showcases (for example, PYP/MYP project exhibitions) that bring families onto campus. The campus calendar also includes a range of extracurricular and specialist programme events — recent notices and school news highlight alumni salons, specialist admissions events (e.g., for sports streams) and sport/arts showcases.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
Parents at Huijia are engaged through a variety of structured, school‑led activities rather than through a single published set of PTA bylaws visible on public listings: the school advertises regular parent–teacher meetings and open days (including ‘校长见面会'), uses parent workshops and information sessions to share curriculum and admissions updates, and invites parents to attend student exhibitions and course showcases. School communications and news items show the school conducting parent interviews and family outreach when implementing transition or admissions schemes, and they use open‑day sessions for Q&A with leadership and for admissions guidance. In practice the parent role often includes attending curriculum exhibitions (for example PYP成果展), participating in open‑day presentations, and joining school briefings on scholarships or specialised programmes; these activities are a routine part of the school calendar. For detailed, current information about any formal PTA committee, volunteer roles, or schedules, the school's admissions office or official notices (open‑day and news pages) are the best sources.
Extra-Curricular Activities

Academic & Intellectual
The school offers teacher-organized clubs including equestrian, ice hockey, golf, taekwondo, fencing, robotics, jewelry design, Model UN, cooking and baking, drama, 3D printing, pottery, magic, traditional music, and a music band. Students organize clubs such as IB TV Station, IB gravity, IB charity, PED, Hi-tech, Drama, Dancing, Primary News Team, and Photography. These clubs support inquiry-based learning and practical, hands-on exploration within the IB framework. Participation develops collaboration, problem-solving, and broader academic curiosity.

Arts & Creative
The school provides opportunities in performing and visual arts through drama, traditional Chinese music, a music band, drawing, cartooning, pottery, and jewelry design. Students participate in stage productions and creative projects across these arts disciplines. The arts program complements IB education by enabling creative expression and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Performing and visual arts are integral to the school's extracurricular ecosystem.

Cultural & Language
Model UN is offered as a teacher-organized club to foster global awareness and debate skills. The curriculum supports bilingual instruction in Mandarin Chinese and English for PYP and MYP, and English in DP. The IB framework promotes international-mindedness and cross-cultural understanding through diverse clubs and activities. Multilingual communication and global perspectives are cultivated through these experiences.

Social & Hobbies
The school provides a wide range of recreational and hobby clubs, including equestrian, ice hockey, golf, taekwondo, fencing, robotics, jewelry design, Model UN, cooking and baking, drama, 3D printing, pottery, magic, traditional music, a music band, drawing, and cartooning. Student-organized clubs include IB TV Station, IB gravity, IB charity, PED, Hi-tech, Drama, Dancing, Primary News Team, and Photography. These activities foster teamwork, creativity, and social engagement beyond the classroom.

Community & Service
IB charity is available as a student-organized activity, reflecting a focus on community service and philanthropy. Volunteer opportunities and service projects are pursued through structured clubs and IB-related initiatives. The extracurricular program emphasizes social responsibility and real-world impact through student-led service activities.

Leadership & Professional
Student-led groups such as IB TV Station, and other clubs provide platforms to develop communication, leadership, and organizational skills. Model UN and TED-style events offer opportunities for public speaking, research, and event management. The school emphasizes leadership development through these student-driven activities and collaborations.

Lifestyle & Wellbeing
After-school activities include elite competitive sports (equestrian, ice hockey, golf, taekwondo, fencing) and traditional Chinese activities, along with opportunities to participate in performing arts. The program supports physical health, outdoor activity, and holistic well-being as part of balanced development. Mindfulness and social connection are encouraged through club participation and team involvement.
Admissions

Admissions
1. Initial enquiry and research. Contact the school's admissions office to confirm which programme you are applying to (IB PYP, MYP, DP, or the bilingual/“融合” stream) and to ask about current intake windows and campus‑visit arrangements. Parents should confirm whether the grade they need has immediate space and whether boarding is required — both affect forms, fees, and timelines. (Sources: school listings and the school's 2024–25 admissions summaries).

2. Prepare and submit the application. Complete the school application form and submit the required documents (usually: recent school reports, passport/ID, photos, and any residency/visa documents for non‑Mainland students); the published registration/application fee shown in third‑party school listings is commonly around RMB 2,000 (confirm the current amount with admissions). Parents should prepare originals and certified copies because the school will typically check documents in person at offer or enrolment.

3. Entrance testing. Applicants are generally required to sit school entrance assessments; recent school notices and listings indicate testing usually covers English and mathematics, and for some streams there may be Chinese/language checks or additional written tasks. Expect grade‑appropriate tests (and for older applicants, subject‑level assessment) — prepare recent school transcripts and work samples if requested. If your child is applying to the Chinese‑language or integrated stream, confirm whether an intensive Chinese placement course will be required if their Mandarin level is below the school's expectation.

4. Interview and holistic assessment. The school typically follows tests with an interview (student and sometimes parent) to assess communication, motivation and fit; some grades have additional subject interviews or performance checks (e.g., for arts/sports tracks). Parents should be ready to discuss the student's academic history, extracurricular interests, and reasons for choosing Huijia; bring any certificates or portfolios that support scholarship or special‑talent requests. Note that selection can consider both academic results and co‑curricular strengths; ask in advance whether your child should prepare a portfolio or audition.

5. Offer, medical check, and payment of fees. If the school issues an offer, the usual next steps are acceptance confirmation, payment of the required deposit/first instalment (and any non‑refundable registration/capital fees where applicable) and a medical exam or health clearance as part of registration. Timelines and refundability vary — request a written fee schedule and the exact deadline for depositing to hold the place. For boarding applicants, the acceptance package will normally include accommodation fees and moving‑in instructions — check rooming options and the annual boarding fee amount.

6. Pre‑arrival logistics and start arrangements. After registration you will be asked to arrange uniforms, school meal plans, bus services (if using), and any student insurance; the school or third‑party listings usually quote annual estimates for meals and transport. For international students, confirm visa/residence procedures early and whether the school assists with invitation letters or JW/visa paperwork. Finally, attend orientation dates and ensure medical/immunisation paperwork is submitted by the deadline the school sets.

Scholarships
Beijing Huijia publishes and is reported by multiple school‑listing sources to operate scholarship and award programmes: these typically include academic, arts, sports and special‑talent scholarships for upper primary and secondary grades (coverage in external listings indicates awards target roughly Grades 6–12). Reported scholarship amounts and formats vary: public summaries and third‑party school guides list award ranges from modest grants up to larger awards (figures reported in listings and media summaries range widely; some sources cite awards up to about RMB 240,000 depending on the programme and level). Application procedures described in school summaries and historical descriptions commonly require a written scholarship application (personal statement/essay), teacher recommendation(s) and supporting evidence of achievement (transcripts, honours, portfolios, audition materials). Because scholarship categories, eligibility criteria, award sizes, and renewal rules change year to year, contact the school's admissions or scholarships office for the current scholarship catalogue, exact amounts, application deadlines, and whether awards are one‑time, renewable, or conditional on continued academic/behavioural standards.

Waitlist
Publicly available school listings and the school's published materials reviewed (school pages and third‑party school directories) do not set out a formal, routinely published “waitlist” policy for Beijing Huijia; aggregated admissions guides describe a test→interview→offer sequence but do not publish a standard waitlist procedure. In practice, many Beijing private schools manage demand by holding eligible applicants on an internal waiting list when a grade is full and then offering places as they open; because Huijia does not publish a detailed waitlist protocol on its public materials, parents should ask admissions directly whether the school maintains a waitlist for the specific grade and year, what their child's position would be, and whether any deposit or commitment is required to hold a spot. If you expect to rely on a waitlist, request written confirmation of the school's process and typical timelines for offers from the list.
