Springboard International Bilingual School

Springboard International Bilingual School (SIBS) was established in 2000 and grew from an earlier campus in Dongzhimen to its current campus in Shunyi District. The school is privately operated and is associated with founder/principal Aijun (Zhang) in leadership roles reported in school profiles and media coverage. Over the 2010s and early 2020s SIBS pursued international accreditations and authorizations: it gained IB Diploma Programme authorization in 2021 and later progressed through additional IB authorizations and international accreditations reported by the school and third‑party profiles. These milestones and the school's bilingual (Chinese/English) model are documented in education listings and local coverage.

SIBS describes a bilingual, multicultural student body of roughly 400–600 students in third‑party profiles, with a majority of domestic Chinese nationals alongside international students and foreign teachers recruited from North America, Europe and other regions. The school community is active around whole‑school cultural events and seasonal activities (for example Halloween and other festivals have been covered in local press), regular parent–school meetings and open days, and co‑curricular programmes that use the campus performance and STEM facilities. During COVID‑19 the school organized a move to online teaching and faculty collaboration that was noted in coverage of school operations.

There is no clearly published, detailed PTA constitution or dedicated PTA web page available from the school's public listings; public sources instead describe parent meetings, open days, parent sharing sessions and community events where parents are involved. Third‑party school profiles and event notices show the school running open days, parent information sessions and community festivals (for example open‑day listings and school participation in education expos), which suggests parents engage through event committees, classroom meetings and volunteer opportunities rather than through a single widely advertised PTA structure. If you need an authoritative statement about a formal PTA (officer list, bylaws, regular meeting schedule or contact point), I could contact the school admissions office or check the school's official parent portal—I did not find a dedicated PTA page in publicly indexed sources.
