It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Beijing Aidi School is located in Beijing's Chaoyang District on Louzizhuang Road inside the CBD International Education Park (address: No.7 Louzizhuang Road). The campus sits in the city's eastern business/education zone and is served by local roads and public transport links that connect to central Chaoyang — parents should allow extra time for peak-hour traffic when commuting. For contact and exact directions, the school lists its address and admissions contacts on its website.
The school operates as a K–12 campus (kindergarten through senior high), enrolling children roughly aged 3–18. Curriculum pages and department sections on the school site describe separate kindergarten, primary, junior middle and senior high divisions.
Beijing Aidi is a private, co-educational school offering bilingual (Chinese–English) and international programme routes (including Australian and other international pathways). The school's materials and third‑party profiles indicate it runs day provision and also provides dormitory/boarding accommodation for some secondary students. Parents should confirm boarding availability and arrangements directly with admissions.
The school website highlights ‘learning tracking' and ‘individualised development' and states it offers customised learning plans (described on the site as multiple tailored schemes for individual students). For details about formal SEN policy, specific therapies or one‑to‑one support, contact the school's admissions or student‑support team because the website gives an overview rather than a full SEN policy.
The school was founded as a Sino–Australian (China–Australia) government‑level cooperative education project; its site notes historical ties with Australian education partners. It is operated in China under private school registration.
No religious affiliation is listed on the school's public materials; the school presents itself as a secular, non‑religious institution.
Published profiles give a typical school day around 08:40–16:20 (start mid‑morning to mid/late afternoon) with usual lesson blocks and extracurricular slots; the official website describes department timetabling in general terms but does not publish a detailed daily timetable online. Families should check the current term timetable with admissions before relocating.
Third‑party school profiles and the school's contact information indicate a school bus service is available for students; routes and stops are organised by the school and vary by neighbourhood. If you need school‑bus coverage for a particular address, ask admissions for the latest route map, pickup points, fees and safety/insurance arrangements.

Tuition fees by year group (annual amounts and per‑term breakdowns)

The figures below are the published annual totals; per‑term amounts are provided as simple divisions of the annual total for convenience (annual ÷ 2 for a two‑semester year, and annual ÷ 3 for a three‑term year). These per‑term figures are computed for reference and are inferred from the published annual fees.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The public fee breakdowns accessed list annual totals and itemised annual charges but do not publish a school‑level billing calendar (for example, how many instalments are offered, exact invoice dates, or late‑payment penalties) in the material available.

- Primary boarding example: published assembled total ~RMB 233,500/year (includes tuition + accommodation + meal/other charges).
- Published accommodation items cited separately include small accommodation fees for weekend‑not‑staying vs full‑boarding, accommodation management fees, and meal charges; sample line items include figures such as accommodation amounts RMB 6,000 (weekend not staying) or RMB 11,200 (full board component), and an accommodation management charge shown at around RMB 20,000 in illustrative breakdowns.
- Published boarding totals for middle and high school specialty programs are shown in the same source as program‑specific totals (examples above).

- These amounts appear consistently in the public fee breakdowns as optional or program‑specific add‑ons; the exact applicability depends on the program and whether the student is boarding or day.
Refund information
- A specific, school‑published refund policy (exact refund percentages, timelines and the mechanics for returning fees) was not located in the publicly available fee summaries accessed. Beijing municipal guidance requires schools to publish and follow fee/ refund management rules and specifies that schools must have refund procedures in place; local government guidance also sets out common refund calculation approaches used by some Beijing schools when students withdraw shortly after the start of a term. The accessible fee summaries for Beijing Aidi School do not reproduce a school‑specific refund table or schedule in the material reviewed.
Fee payment options
- The publicly available fee summaries accessed for Beijing Aidi School do not list the school's accepted payment methods (for example, whether they accept credit card, bank transfer, Alipay/WeChat, cross‑border USD payments, or other channels). No explicit payment‑method details were published in the fee breakdowns reviewed.
