Established in 1994, Beijing BISS International School was the first International school in Chaoyang District, and was one of the first to be authorized to offer all three International Baccalaureate (IB) programs including PYP, MYP, and DP. Over the past 25 years, BISS has had excellent academic results. BISS graduates are widely accepted by top universities around the world, including Harvard University, Stanford University, Columbia University, Juliet Music College, the National University of Singapore, University of Toronto and Peking University among others.
BISS is a family-style boutique school that puts students at the center. BISS considers all students and teachers as family and puts emphasis on interpersonal relationships. Since it is a small school, students are known by their peers, as well as by their teachers and administrators. Because students feel at home, they gain a great sense of trust and know that they receive support from all sides. Another advantage of a boutique school is that BISS provides students with more opportunities to shine in their own way. Students develop strong communication and leadership skills, they know they can participate in any activities, regardless of their skill level. They are involved in Student Council, publish their own newspaper, lead meetings and join all kinds of activities.
With shared values and thanks to the strong support from the government, BISS and ETU Education (an education innovation project with its founding roots in both Silicon Valley and Beijing) have agreed on a comprehensive partnership so as to ensure the smooth operation of BISS moving forward. ETU will provide assistance to BISS in school operation, curriculum building, marketing, and admission, so as to provide best-quality education to families and students from different backgrounds.
BISS will continuously strive for strong academic excellence by leveraging its rich experiences and practices in IB teaching and learning.
