In anticipation of the Beijing International School Expo on January 16-17, we will be highlighting local and international schools around Beijing from the upcoming 2016-2017 beijingkids School Choice Guide, which comes out on January 4.
Beijing SMIC Private School is located in southeast Beijing, in the Yizhuang BDA, Beijing’s largest hi-tech economic development zone. Beijing SMIC School was originally founded in 2005 to serve families employed by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Company (SMIC). Over the years, the school’s reputation grew along with enrollment demands as we expanded to include students from outside the company as well. The school has a teaching staff of over 200 (of whom nearly one-fourth are foreigners) that serve over 1,300 students from Pre-K to Grade 9 in both English and Chinese tracks. SMIC English Track is a highly academic international school-style division in a Chinese Private school. They offer an American-style curriculum (in English) based on US standards, and provide a phenomenally successful and diverse after school program with a unique Chinese language program. Whether Beijing SMIC School students pursue academics, sports, or other extra-curricular activities, the staff and active school community encourage their efforts to aim for excellence, while retaining a sense of honor, community, and joy.
