AISB-Hope International

AISB‑Hope International is located in east Chaoyang District, Beijing — Address: Building 5, Dayu, No. 4 Courtyard, Chaoyang Farm, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100018. The school website notes the campus is in the eastern part of the city and lists bus routes serving areas such as Wangjing. For exact directions and visiting arrangements contact the admissions office.

The school is described as an international PK–12 school (pre‑kindergarten through Grade 12). Elementary grades are taught (K–5) and the high school offers a college‑preparatory programme with Advanced Placement (AP) course options.

AISB‑Hope International is a co‑educational day school operated under the AISB (Australian International School of Beijing) license. The campus is a closed day campus (students stay on campus between arrival and dismissal); the school does not advertise boarding facilities.

The school states it provides differentiated classroom instruction and has a dedicated SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) to support students with learning differences. There is also an English Plus team to support English language learners, and the school says it will work with IEPs or other support plans as needed.

The school operates under the AISB (Australian International School of Beijing) licence; otherwise it presents itself as an international school serving a multinational student body.

AISB‑Hope International describes a faith‑based ethos with Christian language in its mission (references to ‘Godly character', relationships with faith groups, and a ‘love‑based' approach). It presents a Christian‑influenced school ethos rather than a secular or non‑religious identity.

The school website does not publish a single, detailed schoolwide start/end time. The published bus schedule shows morning pickups around 6:58–7:06 and afternoon drop‑offs around 15:55–15:58, and the site notes the campus is closed during school hours (Seniors may leave for lunch with an off‑campus pass). For exact daily bell times and lunch/recess timings, contact Admissions.

AISB‑Hope International offers a daily bus service for families at an additional fee and arranges pick‑up points according to student locations; the school says it has used the same trusted bus company for several years. The site publishes sample bus lines and times (for example a Wangjing line with morning pick‑ups and mid‑afternoon returns) and asks families to provide their address during admissions so a pick‑up point can be arranged. Specific routes, fees and available stops are handled through the school's Admissions/Transportation office.
