It’s that time of year again; our annual School Choice Guide has gone to print and is now distributed to different spots around the city.
We loaded this issue up with several new resources and included old-time favorites.
As expected, we examined different curricula in the city, with a new focus on Bilingual curriculum and International Primary Curriculum. We also laid out for you some statistics comparing schools city-wide, including questions we highly suggest you ask your potential schools at the Beijing International School Expo.

We also sought expert advice from Barbara Chen about how Third Culture Kids (TCK) can set their college application apart from the rest. We also added more insights into the ever-long debate of homework.
Lastly, we asked the experts what makes a great school, so six students told us what makes a great school.
Of course, this guide also includes information from 58 of Beijing’s finest schools, and we made a helpful map and key to easily orient the school within the city. You can read the school profiles online here. Or you can download a PDF version here.
