Beijing BISS International School

Located in Chaoyang District near the North Third Ring Road and the Asian Games Village (No. 17, Area 4, Anzhen Xili), within a commonly used expatriate residential area and a short drive from central Beijing; the site is served by local roads and nearby bus routes but not directly by a metro station.

Offers education from Early Years through Grade 12 and has historically delivered the full IB continuum (Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes); listings typically show ages roughly 3–18.

A co-educational, English-language day school (no public boarding provision is listed in standard school profiles); the school was established in the 1990s and has been described as founded as a sister school to ISS (Singapore). Note: there were public reports and social-media claims about financial difficulties and possible closure in December 2023; the school and some local reports later pushed back on some of those claims — prospective parents should confirm current operational status directly with admissions before making relocation decisions.

The school has documented learning-support provision (often referred to as an Optimal/Optimal Learning Centre or Learning Support service) and may use Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and in-class or resource-room support for students with mild-to-moderate needs; admissions guidance commonly asks families to submit IEPs or psycho-educational evaluations when relevant.

The school is not a national embassy school and does not have an official religious affiliation; it was established with links to an international (Singapore) partner but operates as an independent international school.

No religious affiliation is indicated in standard school profiles—BISS is presented as a secular international IB school.

Typical published schedules show a school day running in the morning to mid-afternoon (examples in external listings state roughly 08:25–15:00 or 08:30–15:00), with a midday lunch period and breaks during the day; exact daily times and term dates should be confirmed with the school for the relevant academic year.

Most public school listings note that BISS operates a student shuttle/bus service with multiple routes serving expatriate residential areas; the service is commonly used for daily pick-up/drop-off and for afternoon return runs after activities. Families are usually required to register for bus routes and pay a separate transport fee—check the school for current routes, stops, and fees.

Application fees
- No official, current application fee schedule is publicly posted by Beijing BISS International School. Authoritative third‑party school directories indicate the school does not publish a detailed fee schedule online.

Tuition fees by year group (annual and per‑term detail)
- The school does not publish a full per‑grade, per‑term fee table online. A recent third‑party Chinese education listing (published December 30, 2024) reports the following annual tuition figures for 2025:
- Kindergarten: RMB 228,000 per year.
- Primary (elementary): RMB 258,000 per year.
- Middle school: RMB 278,000 per year.
- High school: RMB 298,000 per year.
- Per‑term detail: the school does not publish a per‑term billing table. If invoiced on a common three‑term basis (a common billing cadence at many Beijing international schools), the per‑term amounts would be those annual figures divided by three — presented here only as a straightforward arithmetic inference, not as an official school statement:
- Kindergarten: approx. RMB 76,000 per term (inferred).
- Primary: approx. RMB 86,000 per term (inferred).
- Middle school: approx. RMB 92,667 per term (inferred).
- High school: approx. RMB 99,333 per term (inferred).
(This per‑term breakdown is an inference based on common practice where schools use three terms; the school has not published a confirmed term schedule or per‑term amounts.)

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Beijing BISS does not publish a current, itemized billing schedule or formal payment‑terms summary publicly. Third‑party directories note fees are not openly listed and provide no official billing timetable. Where applicable at other Beijing international schools, billing is commonly annual or termly and often requires payment before term start; such practices should not be assumed as the school's formal policy without confirmation.

Boarding fees
- Beijing BISS is described as a day school; no boarding program or boarding fees are publicly listed. No official boarding fee schedule was found.

Other costs and fees (uniforms, deposits, transport, exams, extras)
- There is no current, published itemized list from the school for ancillary costs. Third‑party commentary and historical listings reference categories that commonly apply at international schools (examples below) but do not provide current BISS price points:
- Registration/application processing fee (not published for current year).
- Tuition deposit or refundable capital levy (historical reports exist for some international schools; no current BISS amount publicly available).
- School uniforms, books and learning resources, school lunches, extracurricular activities, school bus/transport, external examination fees (IB/other) — these categories are typically additional costs but BISS has not published corresponding current amounts.

Refund information
- No current, publicly available refund policy for tuition or deposits was found for Beijing BISS. The school does not publish a public, itemized refund/withdrawal policy on the sources searched. Any refund terms that may apply would be those stated in the school's formal enrolment/tuition contract, which is not publicly posted.

Fee payment options
- Beijing BISS does not publish a public list of accepted payment methods (bank transfer, credit card, etc.) on a publicly accessible fee schedule. As with billing and refund terms, the school has not posted an official, current payment‑methods statement in the public domain. Typical accepted methods at Beijing international schools include bank transfer and electronic payment; this is a general observation and not an official statement for this school.

Search summary and limitations
- I was unable to locate an official, current fee schedule published directly by Beijing BISS International School. Several reputable directories explicitly state the school does not make its fees public; one recent Chinese listing (dated December 30, 2024) provides annual tuition figures for 2025 (listed above). There are also multiple news items and local reports documenting operational and financial difficulties at the school in late 2023 and subsequent changes in operations, which have produced conflicting public information about the school's status; this context makes relying on an official, up‑to‑date online fee schedule difficult. Because an official, itemized per‑grade, per‑term fee table and formal policies (billing schedule, payment terms, refund policy, accepted payment methods) are not publicly posted by the school, the statements above rely either on the single public fee listing found or note that the school has not published the requested details.
