Limai Chinese American (International) School

Address: No. 2 Yangshan (Yanshan) Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing — the school sits to the east of the National Olympic Park. It is in Chaoyang, with local road access and is reported to be within walking distance of Beiyuanlu North (Line 5) subway station (confirm exact walking time with the school).

LCAIS is described as an all-through school offering preschool through senior high (approximately ages 3–18 / K–12). The school's international stream includes upper‑school programmes that prepare students for international qualifications such as the IB Diploma and other Sino‑American pathways.

The school is a co‑educational, fee‑paying international / bilingual (Chinese–American) day school that follows both Chinese and U.S.-style curricula; it is part of the Limai (Limai Education Group) network. The school advertises dual Sino‑American diploma pathways and international partnerships (Calvert/College Board noted in public descriptions).

There are no clear, detailed public descriptions found in the sources I checked about a formal Additional Learning Needs (SEN) or specific learning‑support team at the Beijing LCAIS campus. Prospective parents should request the school's current learning‑support policy, assessment and referral procedures, and any fees or external‑therapy arrangements directly from admissions.

The school identifies as a Sino‑American (Chinese–American) international school—combining Chinese national elements with U.S. curricula/components and international programmes. It is operated within China by the Limai group and references U.S. curriculum partners in public descriptions.

No religious affiliation is listed in publicly available profiles or school descriptions; the school presents itself as secular and curriculum‑focused. Parents should confirm directly if this is a key decision factor.

Public summaries note weekday operation and class organisation consistent with Chinese K–12 schools; a recruitment/operations page references 45‑minute class periods and up to ~25 periods per week for some roles. Exact daily start/end times and break/lunch schedules are not published in the general listings I found—please ask the admissions office for the up‑to‑date daily timetable for your child's year group.

Some public fee schedules and school profiles list a paid shuttle/‘school bus' (班车) option (a commonly quoted annual fee appears in secondary info), but I did not find route maps or the operator name in the material reviewed. If you need door‑to‑door transport, ask admissions for current routes, pick‑up/drop‑off points, safety procedures and the exact cost.

Application & registration fees

- One‑time application / registration charges are reported for new students; amounts vary by programme. Examples reported include an entry deposit commonly equivalent to one month's tuition for new enrollees and programme-specific service/registration fees for certain international tracks (see programme breakdowns below).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Billing frequency varies by programme: fees are reported as billed on either an annual or a per‑term/semester basis depending on the track; some preparatory courses and specific campus programmes publish a per‑term amount.
- A tuition deposit for new students is commonly reported (example: a one‑month tuition deposit for new enrolments in one Limai campus). Certain international programmes also charge a separate programme/service fee (listed as a comprehensive service fee or “US service management fee” for specific international tracks).
- Parents are commonly required to keep school fees up to date as a condition of continued attendance; late/payment compliance clauses are referenced in school and third‑party descriptions.

Boarding / accommodation fees (where applicable)

- Boarding is available and boarding/room fees are reported as an additional annual charge; commonly cited figures are in the region of RMB 8,000–10,000 per year for basic student boarding. Weekend or extended boarding options carry separate charges in some reported schemes (examples: additional annual weekend boarding fees reported).

Other compulsory and common additional costs

- Programme or “service” fees (listed in some sources as comprehensive service fees or US service‑management fees): commonly reported for certain international high‑school tracks in the range of USD 8,000–9,000 per year (amount varies by programme). These charges have been listed separately from on‑campus tuition in multiple programme descriptions.
- Meals: reported typical annual charge(s) for on‑campus meal plans are around RMB 8,000 per year (breakfast/lunch/dinner/extra meals components are sometimes itemised).
- Uniforms: commonly reported one‑off or annual uniform expense ≈RMB 2,000 per year.
- Activities / social practice / materials: various ancillary fees are reported, for example activity fees ≈RMB 2,000 per year and social‑practice or experiential fees in the range of several thousand RMB.
- Transport / school bus: reported sample annual amounts ≈RMB 8,000 (varies by route and service).
- Examination, textbook, and materials fees: these are listed as separate where applicable and charged in addition to tuition for certain programmes.

Refund / withdrawal information

- No single, detailed public refund schedule for all programmes was located in the available public summaries consulted; published descriptions and third‑party listings indicate that refunds, deposits and withdrawal handling vary by programme and intake and that programme‑specific deposits/service fees are treated separately. Parents should expect programme‑specific refund/withdrawal rules to apply and to be notified in registration documentation.

Fee payment methods (reported options)

- Specific payment channels for Limai were not consistently listed across public summaries; in practice schools of this type commonly accept bank transfer for tuition and, depending on campus, may accept electronic payment channels or specified corporate accounts for invoice settlement. Programme descriptions and admissions listings emphasise invoice/payment by bank transfer or by the school's finance office in many typical cases.

Notes on variability

- The school operates multiple campuses and a variety of programme tracks (bilingual/fusion, multiple international curricula, preparatory streams). Published fee figures differ by campus and by the specific programme chosen; the figures above show the ranges and representative programme charges most frequently reported. Key single‑line programme charges (for example A‑Level, AP and preparatory tracks) are included in the sections above.

If you need these amounts formatted into the external database fields, include the programme name, campus (if any), and whether you require annual or per‑term values and I will place the reported numbers into those fields. (No additional fee provenance is attached to the data above.)
