Welcome to ISB Admissions
Dear Prospective Parents and Students,
Finding the right school is one of the principal challenges for families coming to Beijing. So many factors come into play in determining the most suitable “fit” between family and school. For more than a thousand families from around the globe, ISB is an academic, sporting, and cultural home away from home. We hope this website will help you determine whether ISB, the leader in international education in Beijing for more than 25 years, is the best choice for your family.
At ISB you will find more than 350 of the world’s best teachers, administrators, and staff members, all focused on helping children learn, grow, and succeed. You will see that at ISB:
- we believe in helping every child reach his or her unique potential;
- we believe that successful education is a collaborative effort between family and school, enriched by the community; and
- we believe in nurturing social responsibility and cultural awareness across our entire community; and
- we believe that excellence is worth pursuing.
These firmly held beliefs guide us as we work in partnership with parents to provide a world-class education for every student at our school.
ISB’s exceptional campus is home to four distinct school divisions: Lower Elementary School, Upper Elementary School, Middle School, and High School. Each division has its own identity, yet all work together toward the common goal of delivering the mission of the school. Each division’s programs are engaging and challenging, and we are proud of our students’ academic achievements, extra-curricular involvement, community service efforts, and appreciation of the host culture of China.
You will find that ISB is a warm, welcoming center of educational excellence, with a stellar track record and exciting opportunities at every grade level. When you have had a chance to peruse all the materials on the website, I hope you will have a better sense of who we are, what we stand for, and what we can offer your family.
Sincerely,
Tom Hawkins, Ed.D.
Head of School
International School of Beijing
