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.
Chaoyang KaiWen states that it aims to develop students' intellectual, emotional, physical and social health and promotes character development through its CKWA+ character framework. The school's “About Us” and Kaiwen concept pages describe an emphasis on habits and dispositions such as courage, kindness and adaptability as part of student formation. School news and event posts describe speaker series and student workshops (e.g., “飞扬吧青春”) that have included sessions on emotion management and involvement of psychological/mental‑health staff. These materials indicate SEL is integrated through curriculum, talks and character education, though the website does not publish a separate, detailed SEL programme document.
The school's admissions and enrolment information says KaiWen aims to assess and provide reasonable, individualized educational suggestions and support during the admissions and placement process. Beyond that statement the school website does not publish detailed information about specific special educational needs (SEN) provision, which types of SEN it can support, or a dedicated specialist‑SEN service. The school is not described on its website as a specialist SEN institution. The school does not publicly disclose further specific SEN policies or staff profiles on its website.
The school's curriculum pages list ESL (English as a Second Language) among its language and特色课程 offerings, indicating some English support is provided within its programmes. However, the website does not publish detailed information about an EAL/EAL‑specific team, entry assessments, placement levels, or dedicated EAL intervention programmes. Therefore, apart from listing ESL as a course, the school does not publicly disclose fuller EAL provision or staffing details.
KaiWen's news and events archive describes mental‑health related activity such as parent workshops and a collaboration with a Peking University psychology centre on puberty and adolescent wellbeing, showing the school runs occasional specialist talks and family workshops. Other event pages mention psychological/mental‑health staff involvement in student talks and emotion‑management sessions. The school's overall mission and about pages also highlight attention to students' emotional development as part of whole‑child education. The website does not publish a standalone, detailed mental‑health policy or a full staff list for counselling services.
The school website describes practical safety and welfare measures such as school‑catered food services (including accommodations for allergies/dietary needs), school‑bus routing and limits on travel time, and dedicated dorm life staff and student management for boarding students. The curriculum pages also reference home‑school collaboration and parent committees that participate in student welfare. The site does not publish a publicly accessible, standalone child‑protection or safeguarding policy document with named safeguarding officers or procedural details. For specifics about safeguarding procedures and designated officers, the school asks families to contact the school offices directly.
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.

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.
