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.
I searched the Chaoyang KaiWen Academy website and list below only the external programme authorisations, programme offerings and official partnerships that the school itself states on its site.
- International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) — Chaoyang KaiWen Academy is an IB World School and received IBDP authorization (authorised to deliver the IB Diploma Programme) in February 2020. This is the IB Organisation's formal authorization to teach the two‑year Diploma Programme; it indicates the school has met IB standards for curriculum, staffing and resources.
- Cambridge (CAIE) programmes (IGCSE and A‑Level) — the school's curriculum pages state the secondary curriculum references the Cambridge (CAIE) programme and that IGCSE and A‑Level courses are integrated into its art and international pathways. This indicates the school delivers Cambridge‑style IGCSE/A‑Level courses (as described on the school site).
- BTEC (Level 3) — the Art Curriculum Programme page states BTEC Extended Level 3 courses are integrated into the school's art pathway, which means the school offers BTEC vocational qualifications as part of that programme. BTEC Level 3 is a vocational qualification commonly used for art and applied subjects.
- Advanced Placement (AP) courses — the high‑school curriculum description on the school site describes offering AP (Advanced Placement) courses (the U.S. College Board programme of college‑level courses/exams for high‑school students). This indicates the school runs AP classes as part of its international pathways.
- Berklee College of Music (K‑12 modern music education) — the site describes a formal partnership (Kaiwen Education Group as Berklee's China K‑12 modern music education partner) that brings Berklee faculty/resources to the school's music programme. This is a stated institutional partnership (not an academic accreditation) focused on music education resources and collaboration.
Notes: I listed authorisations and programme offerings as presented on the school's website; where the site describes a programme as offered (e.g., IGCSE, A‑Level, BTEC, AP) I described it as a programme offering rather than presuming a specific external accreditation body's formal centre status unless the site explicitly used the word “authorised” (the IBDP authorisation is explicitly stated). All items above are taken from pages on the school website.
Below are awards and recognitions explicitly stated on the Chaoyang KaiWen Academy website that were awarded to the school (not to individual students) within the past five years (2021–2025).
- “2021 Forbes China Outstanding International School” — awarded at the Forbes China International Education Forum (May 28, 2021); cited on the school site as an institutional recognition the school received. This is a sector recognition reported by the school.
- Ranked No. 25 on the 2025 "China International School Brand Value Top 100" — the school's 2025 news item states Chaoyang KaiWen Academy placed 25th on this national brand‑value ranking. The school presents this as a recognition of its institutional brand value in 2025.
Note on scope: I only included awards or recognitions that the school website itself explicitly states were awarded to the school, and limited the list to items dated within the last five years (2021–2025). The school site also lists earlier recognitions and many student competition results; I have excluded awards to individuals (students or staff) and items dated before 2021, per your instructions.
Chaoyang Kaiwen Academy (北京朝阳凯文学校) opened in 2017 and is a K–12 bilingual school located in Chaoyang District, Beijing. The school describes a blended programme that follows the Chinese national curriculum in compulsory years and offers international pathways in senior secondary (including IBDP, A-Level and AP), and has Cambridge-authorised programmes across stages. Primary years include a MATI (Mathematics, AI, Technology and Innovation) strand for young pupils; the school also highlights a sustained arts programme (including a partnership with Berklee's K–12 modern music programme) and a growing STEM/innovation offer. The school reports IBDP authorization in February 2020, runs an on-campus boarding option (optional boarding fees) and operates an extensive school-bus service covering multiple Beijing districts. For admissions the school publishes the main intake points (preschool, Grade 1, Grade 6, Grade 9 and Grade 10) and a class maximum of 24 students. (All information taken from the school website.)
