Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
AISB‑Hope International states that character development is a core component of its programme and that the school uses a holistic approach to develop students' emotional and social lives. The school runs weekly assemblies that focus on a monthly character trait and includes ‘character' in the elementary curriculum. Teachers use differentiated instruction and the school says it places students' learning and social‑emotional needs first when developing support plans. Support services listed alongside the curriculum include Guidance and other in‑school support.
The school identifies a SENCO (Special Education Needs Coordinator) who supports students with learning differences and says it supports students whether or not they have an IEP. AISB‑Hope International states it will prioritise learning and social‑emotional needs when developing support plans. The website lists support services such as Optimal Learning and Guidance that operate alongside classroom differentiation. The site refers broadly to ‘learning differences' but does not list specific diagnostic categories (for example, autism, ADHD, dyslexia) nor label itself as a specialist SEN institution.
The school publishes that it has a dedicated English Plus team to support English language learners, providing in‑class support and language development classes to help students become independent learners. All classes except foreign language classes are taught in English, and the school describes an ‘English educational environment.' The admissions/fees information shows an English Plus fee for Grades 1–9, indicating a formal EAL provision (English Plus Fee: 18,000 RMB per year for G1–G9). The school therefore does publicly describe an EAL support programme rather than withholding such information.
AISB‑Hope International lists Guidance among its support services and frames a caring community and positive learning environment as central to student life. Weekly assemblies and the school's emphasis on character development are presented as part of the pastoral/relational programme that supports students' wellbeing. The site does not publish detailed descriptions of specific mental‑health programmes or named counselling staff beyond the general ‘Guidance' service. For more precise information (for example, staff names, referral pathways, or external mental‑health partnerships) the school's admissions or office contacts are provided on the website.
The school states it operates as a closed campus — students may not leave during the day except under specified conditions — and says the Parent‑Student handbook addresses many day‑to‑day policies intended to keep students safe and secure. Those statements indicate campus control and a written handbook are part of the school's approach to safety. The website does not publish a standalone child‑protection or safeguarding policy document on the public site that details reporting procedures, designated safeguarding leads, or external safeguarding contacts. For formal safeguarding policy details or named child‑protection contacts, the school's admissions or Head of School office contacts are listed on the site.
AISB–Hope International opened in August 2012 and is located in the east Chaoyang District of Beijing; the school moved to its current location in 2019. The school uses a U.S.-based curriculum (modified Common Core) and is an AP (Advanced Placement) school and testing centre; most classes (except foreign language classes) are taught in English. The school runs an English Plus programme for English-language learners and publishes an annual tuition and fees schedule. Class sizes are described on the school site as typically ranging from 6–12 students; the secondary section lists facilities including two libraries, two science labs, a computer lab, music and art rooms, and outdoor sports areas. The website highlights the AP/college-prep pathway and the English Plus support as distinctive academic features.
