Word from a Parent:
“BIBS is a reputed international school that is truly bilingual at heart. The well-structured Mandarin lessons offered have enhanced my son’s language skills immensely. He finds the IB curriculum-based lessons very stimulating and his teachers keep him busy and motivated. He also takes part in various sports, drama, and other extracurricular activities. The school is a close-knit community and he has spent his last six years here. This year, he is attending the brand new middle and high school campus in Shunyi. BIBS is helping my son develop into a knowledgeable, open-minded global citizen.”
