Academic Success

We make it our mission to ensure that all those who participate in our school life leave us as better, more able, more responsible and confident individuals, who uphold our core values of honesty, integrity, excellent manners and respect for others.

We look to celebrate success, and our teachers are always on the look out to catch our student doing something special, whether it be academically or socially. We like informal praise, but we also have formal systems for rewarding our students with our House system and Merit scheme.

Each year The British School of Beijing, Shunyi achieves excellent academic results.
