The British School of Beijing, Sanlitun

BSB is at an exciting stage of its development, having grown very significantly in the past decade and now numbering approximately 600 students aged 1-11. We are a wonderfully diverse community comprising students from approximately 60 nationalities, who thrive academically; are committed to achieving their best and who grow with us as true global citizens through our culture of respect, opportunity and personal development. We also have highly supportive parents who engage fully in the life of the school and their children’s education.

The school is situated in the safe and family-friendly Embassy District in Sanlitun, which is close to the city centre of Beijing; without doubt one of the most exciting and culturally rich world capitals in which to live.
