Welcome from the Head

 

Dear families, parents and friends,

Welcome to the website of Beijing BISS International School. I hope that your visit here provides the information that you are seeking and, perhaps, encourages you to visit and maybe, even, to join our community. We would love to see you!

Beijing BISS was originally founded in 1994, as you will read elsewhere on this site, but enjoyed a rebirth in 2024 with the merger with JPED Academy. JPED Academy had, itself, in a short time, acquired a reputation as Beijing's most exciting and progressive High School, with an original and creative curriculum supporting ambitious university placements all around the world. Marrying this energy and vision to the history, facilities, and secure tradition of IB education in the younger years, has created a unique and inspiring new school here in the heart of the nation's capital.

I am fortunate and privileged to be Principal of this newly energised and invigorated BISS. Our teachers come from all over the world, but are united in their commitment to creative and engaging learning experiences for all students. We recognise that all students are different and we are committed to individualised learning, and yet we recognise also that all students are the same in their need for safety, community, respect, and fair treatment. Our academic results, and university placements, are excellent, but we measure our success in the spirit and character of our graduates, rather than in terms of their next destinations, and it is this that provides us with the strong sense of pride we feel as members of this school.

We have an inspiring community of learners here in Anzhen Xili: why not get in touch and learn more about what we are doing?

Sincerely,

Richard Pratt
