Beijing SMIC Private School - English Track

SMIC Private School's campuses are in southeast Beijing, in the Yizhuang Beijing Economic‑Technological Development Area (BDA). The main campus address is No.9 Liangshuihe 2nd Street, BDA, Beijing (postcode 100176). Yizhuang is Beijing's largest hi‑tech development zone with good road connections to the city and housing clusters for tech companies.

The English Track is K–12: a bilingual kindergarten (ages 3–6) followed by elementary (Grades 1–5), middle (Grades 6–8) and high school (Grades 9–12). The site describes the English Track as a full K–12 programme.

Beijing SMIC Private School is a private, co‑educational day school; it was founded (2005) to serve families of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) and now accepts many non‑SMIC families. The English Track follows an international (U.S.-based) curriculum; the school does not advertise boarding facilities.

The school operates a Student Achievement Center (SAC) that provides small‑group instruction and pull‑out support in ELA, Math and Science (1–4 times per week), after‑school tutoring for struggling students, and a nominated check‑in/check‑out group that runs 3:15–4:30 pm. Parents should contact the school for assessment and individual plans.

The school was established by SMIC (a Chinese semiconductor company) and is a Chinese private school; the English Track uses a U.S.‑style international curriculum but the school itself is not officially affiliated with another country's government.

No religious affiliation is listed on the school's website; the school's mission and values are presented without reference to a faith or religious denomination.

Elementary classes are organised in seven 45‑minute periods covering ELA, math, science, Chinese and specials (PE, art, music, IT, SEL). The SAC's after‑school tutoring and check‑in/check‑out groups run from about 3:15–4:30 pm, so regular instructional hours finish in the mid‑afternoon; exact start/end times vary by division and should be confirmed with Admissions.

The school offers an optional paid school‑bus service with multiple daily runs (three trips on normal weekdays). Afternoon school buses are listed as departing the school at about 15:25 and 16:55, with many Yizhuang and nearby neighbourhood pick‑up/drop‑off points; the school provides a contact person and phone number for bus arrangements. Parents can request places and should contact the logistics office for routes and fees.
