It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Beijing Huijia Private School was established in 1993 as a privately operated school and has grown from an initial primary division into a combined K–12 day-and‑boarding institution. The school was founded under the Huijia education group; historical accounts name Wang Zhize among the school's founding leaders. Huijia was an early adopter of the International Baccalaureate and is listed as an IB World School with authorization dating to 1997. Over the 2000s it expanded its enrollment and facilities and, by the 2010s, had formal permission to enroll both Chinese and non‑Mainland (foreign) students.
The school community is a mix of Chinese and international students and staff; recent profiles and school listings report on the school's scale (around 75 teaching classes and roughly two thousand students, with several hundred faculty and staff). Huijia runs regular parent‑facing events such as campus open days and principal meet‑and‑greet sessions, and curriculum showcases (for example, PYP/MYP project exhibitions) that bring families onto campus. The campus calendar also includes a range of extracurricular and specialist programme events — recent notices and school news highlight alumni salons, specialist admissions events (e.g., for sports streams) and sport/arts showcases.
Parents at Huijia are engaged through a variety of structured, school‑led activities rather than through a single published set of PTA bylaws visible on public listings: the school advertises regular parent–teacher meetings and open days (including ‘校长见面会'), uses parent workshops and information sessions to share curriculum and admissions updates, and invites parents to attend student exhibitions and course showcases. School communications and news items show the school conducting parent interviews and family outreach when implementing transition or admissions schemes, and they use open‑day sessions for Q&A with leadership and for admissions guidance. In practice the parent role often includes attending curriculum exhibitions (for example PYP成果展), participating in open‑day presentations, and joining school briefings on scholarships or specialised programmes; these activities are a routine part of the school calendar. For detailed, current information about any formal PTA committee, volunteer roles, or schedules, the school's admissions office or official notices (open‑day and news pages) are the best sources.
