Introduction

3e International School is a non-profit bilingual day school (Nursery through Elementary) founded in August 2005. The school operates a research-based dual-language immersion program that splits each day between English and Mandarin instruction and includes specialist classes (art, music, PE and French at Elementary). The elementary programme notes alignment with the Chinese National Curriculum, American Common Core standards, British language-art approaches and Singapore mathematics practices. The Lido campus houses Nursery–Kindergarten programmes; the school cites interactive scientific exhibits (from the Exploratorium) in its learning spaces and runs a term-by-term After-School Activities programme offering sports, music, arts, academic and cultural classes. 3e reports a student body of over 200 children from more than 20 countries.

Jiangtai is in the northern part of Chaoyang and is served by nearby subway connections (Jiangtai station on Line 14), and Chaoyang is a major international/diplomatic and business district of Beijing.

Stages
The school runs an Early Years and elementary program: Nursery, Pre‑Kindergarten (younger and older), Kindergarten, and Elementary (Grades 1–5). Age cutoffs use a September 1 birthday rule (e.g., 2 years for Nursery, 6 years for Grade 1).

Type
3e is a co‑educational, bilingual (English–Mandarin) day school focused on dual‑language immersion; the website describes its curriculum and daily program but does not list any boarding provision.

Additional learning support
Children with special educational needs are considered for enrolment on a case‑by‑case basis by the Admissions Committee and Administrative Team; the school may not be able to accommodate significant needs. If additional support (for example an aide or outside therapies) is required, those arrangements and associated costs are expected to be managed in cooperation with parents.

Country affiliation
The school is based in China and its Elementary program is recognised by Chinese authorities as a foreign school for children of non‑Chinese nationality; the website does not state an official affiliation to another country's national school system.

Religious affiliation
No religious affiliation is stated on the school website.

School day structure
A typical day shown on the website runs approximately 8:30–4:30: English classes 8:30–11:30, lunch/outdoor time 11:30–12:30 (with naps for Nursery and younger Pre‑K), Chinese classes 12:30–15:30, and optional after‑school activities 15:30–16:30.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Initial research and contact: Review 3e's admissions pages and curriculum to confirm the school fits your child's age and language needs. If you want to see the campus, book a tour through 3e's OpenApply visit page — families who visit meet the Director of Admissions and receive further practical details about documentation and fees.

2. Check age and eligibility rules: Confirm your child meets 3e's September 1 cut-off date for the intended intake year (for example, children must be 2 years old before 1 September for Nursery, 6 before 1 September for Grade 1, etc.). Elementary (Grades 1–5) is recognized as a foreign-school program and has passport/visa eligibility conditions; Early Years accepts Chinese and foreign passport holders. If your child's passport/visa situation is atypical (for example, foreign passport without a China visa), 3e may need to apply for authorization from the Beijing Municipal Education Commission on your behalf.

3. Create an OpenApply account and begin the online application: 3e uses OpenApply for applications; start by creating an account and completing the applicant and parent sections online. The online form asks for birthdate, desired entry year/grade and uploads for required documents (child photo, passport, visa, mainland household registration where relevant). Keep your OpenApply username and password and monitor application progress through that platform.

4. Pay the application fee and submit supporting documents: The application is not processed until the non‑refundable application fee (¥2,800 RMB) and required supporting documents are received. Typical required uploads shown on the OpenApply form include a current passport/ID photo, the child's passport, visa, and for mainland applicants the household registration (hukou); Hong Kong/Macao/Taiwan applicants are asked to submit passport, travel permit and resident ID card copies. Confirm the exact list of documents with admissions before submission to avoid delays.

5. Admissions interview and assessment: All children are required to attend an admissions interview; for Elementary applicants, previous school records are required and an interview or assessment may also be necessary to determine grade placement and bilingual readiness. If your child has limited exposure to English or Chinese, the admissions team discusses language support options during the interview. Expect the interview to cover language, social readiness and curriculum fit; contact the Director of Admissions for guidance about preparing your child.

6. Special educational needs disclosure and support planning: If your child has special educational needs (SEN), inform the admissions team early and provide relevant evaluations so the Administrative Team and Admissions Committee can assess the application on a case-by-case basis. 3e aims to place only one child with known SEN in a class at intake and may not be able to accommodate significant needs; where additional support (aide, therapy, consultation) is required, this is arranged cooperatively but is generally at the parents' cost. Be prepared to discuss realistic support plans and associated costs before accepting an offer.

7. Offer, enrolment and practical arrangements: Offers are made based on space availability and in accordance with the school's admissions policies; 3e accepts applications throughout the school year but cannot guarantee space. If an offer is made you will receive instructions on acceptance steps (contract/deposit), meal arrangement and optional services such as school bus — note the school provides bus zones with different annual fees. Confirm deadlines for returning signed enrolment paperwork and for paying any deposit to secure the place.

8. Final pre-start checks: Before your child starts, complete required health and enrolment forms, communicate any allergy or medical information to the Director of Admissions and School Nurse, and arrange bus stops if needed (bus routes operate mainly within Chaoyang district). If parental or diplomatic discounts are relevant (see scholarship/discount notes), confirm the documentation needed to apply these discounts during enrolment. Keep the admissions office contact details handy for any late paperwork or visa/authorization follow-up.

Scholarships
3e does offer scholarship opportunities specifically for the Elementary program: these scholarships provide a partial discount against Elementary tuition and are awarded depending on space availability, entrance requirements and the admissions assessment. The Elementary page also notes that diplomatic passport holders may be eligible for a discount under the school's diplomatic discount policies. The website does not publish fixed scholarship amounts or an open application form for scholarships; for eligibility details, application timing and how awards are decided you should contact the admissions office directly at admissions@3einternationalschool.org. For reference, 3e's published 2025–2026 fees show annual tuition levels (Nursery–Kindergarten ¥220,800; Elementary ¥247,200), an annual meal fee (¥9,935) and annual school-bus fees by zone (Zone A ¥13,500; Zone B ¥17,500; Zone C ¥19,500) — the admissions team can confirm whether a particular scholarship or discount applies to these published fees.

Waitlist
3e's public admissions materials state that applications are accepted throughout the year and that spaces are offered based on availability, but the school does not publish a formal public waitlist procedure on its admissions pages. The website and OpenApply materials emphasise that places are offered in accordance with admissions policies and space availability; they do not describe a ranked waitlist or a standard wait-pool process. If you are unable to secure a place at application time, contact admissions (admissions@3einternationalschool.org or +86 10 6437 3344) to ask whether the school maintains an internal wait pool, how families are notified if a place opens, and whether the school can hold your application active for future vacancies.
