A LEARNING EXPERIENCE DESIGNED FOR THE FUTURE

Created by world-leading education experts, The British School of Beijing, Shunyi, teaches an internationally recognised curriculum that reimagines learning through six key pillars.

Academic excellence
Due to our students’ top academic performances over the past 20 years, the world’s top universities – including Cambridge, Imperial College London, NYU, and the University of Toronto – have opened their doors to our students.
Image_Shunyi_Beijing_2021_074
Academic excellence
Our students study the English National Curriculum leading to the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) exams and International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). We’re proud to stand by these fantastic international qualifications used by over 30,000 schools in the UK and overseas, recognised by top global universities.

Our academic results speak to our commitment to each student’s success: BSB Shunyi's average IB Diploma score of 37 is significantly higher than the global average of 33 – and confidently sets our students apart from those in other schools.

With an average student to teacher ratio of 11:1, our small class size ensures our students get the individual attention they need from our teachers to flourish in and beyond the classroom. Our highly committed teachers know how to challenge them while giving the personalised support they need. For example, we prepare our students for their international futures through our ‘English as an Additional Language’ (EAL) Department, furthering their English communications skills – no matter their backgrounds or starting points. We also offer an impressive range of other global languages: German, Mandarin Chinese, French, Korean, and Spanish at IGCSE & IB levels.

The world's best teachers
Our outstanding teachers have a wealth of international teaching experience – and they make BSB Shunyi glow. That’s why both our academically accomplished students and teachers love it here, with our teachers staying for many years.

The world's best teachers
We believe children learn best when they're happy. Our parents believe their children have a good relationship with their teachers, and 95% agree their children have a quality education with us. 

Excellent teachers make that happen. Our experienced national and international teaching team come with a wealth of experience both in the UK and overseas. All hold UK Qualified Teacher Status, or equivalent and many hold a master’s degree. They deliver high quality and personalised lessons to enable our students’ academic success. 

A rewarding structure enables rewarding results for the entire community. Our teachers and staff remain on our team for an average of five years, and many stay with us for much longer. This continuity helps build a strong base of expertise, with many of our staff promoted to senior positions within our school.

Exceptional learning experiences
At BSB Shunyi, our teachers work hard to stretch our students, helping them cultivate creativity and resilience, in and beyond the classroom. Going hand-in-hand with their academic achievements, our students develop their characters through social and personal skills.

Exceptional learning experience
We give our students the tools and skills to succeed through transformational experiences. Many activities – from our collaborations with world-leading organisations like The Juilliard School, UNICEF, and MIT to our online learning platform, NAE Global Campus – develop our students’ international perspectives and give them unparalleled opportunities.

Our students at BSB Shunyi are very active. We offer over 300 co-curricular activities that develop their leadership, communication, and teamwork skills. We also encourage service-learning across all age groups – setting up our students to make meaningful change through local outreach programmes like fundraising or volunteering for causes they truly care about. For instance, we partner with the charity Dew Drops Little Flower to provide care to orphaned and abandoned children who have critical medical needs. 

In all our activities, no matter what, our students' safety and wellbeing throughout their learning experiences are our number one priority. Our in-house staff and external specialists are always on hand to provide a full range of support.

Our social purpose
Our students have the power to change the world. From our environmentally and socially conscious activities to our engaged Student Council in the community, our students are using their creativity, resilience, and citizenship to make positive changes around them.

Our social purpose
With our advanced curriculum, dedication to global awareness, and many efforts to develop our students’ social entrepreneurship, BSB Shunyi is leading in social purpose in the communities surrounding us – locally, in China, and throughout the world. Our engaged students deliver over 2,500 volunteer hours per term for local and global causes.

Especially motivated by the CAS (Creativity, Activity & Service) component of the IB Diploma, social entrepreneurship is centred in our curriculum, as we challenge our students invent solutions to some of the world’s biggest challenges. BSB Shunyi’s Eco-Committee – well known in our school for building an effective recycling programme long before it was enforced by the local government – enthusiastically works to ensure our school is environmentally conscious and sustainable, with students of all ages participating in it.

Furthermore, every year, we participate in and lead both local and global Model United Nations, hosting our own MUN Club weekly and BRITMUN annually. Our active UNICEF programme also challenges our students to think about how they can make a difference to support the UN Sustainable Development 2030 agenda.
