Beanstalk International Bilingual School - Shunyi

Beanstalk International Bilingual School — Shunyi (Tianzhu) Campus is at No. 15 Liyuan Street, Tianzhu, Shunyi District, Beijing. The campus is close to Beijing Capital International Airport and the Beijing International Exhibition Center, making it convenient for families who travel by air. The website lists the campus size and basic facilities (tennis court, indoor stadium, library, etc.).

The school offers around 15 years of education from kindergarten through senior high (ages shown as 2–18) and is accredited for the IB Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and Diploma (DP) programmes. This covers Early Years/Kindergarten, Primary (PYP), Middle (MYP) and Senior/Pre‑University (DP) levels.

The Shunyi campus is a bilingual IB day school and is part of the Beanstalk Education Group. The Shunyi site page does not advertise boarding; a different BIBS campus (Huairou) is described as developing a boarding provision.

The Student Welfare and Development Department includes school psychologists and learning‑support staff; homeroom teachers (elementary) and grade‑level Personal Tutors (middle/high) are the first points of contact for concerns. The school runs Social Emotional Learning programmes (noted for Years 6–10) and refers specific issues to the Student Welfare team.

The school is based in Beijing, China, and is operated under the Beanstalk Education Group.

The campus website does not indicate any religious affiliation.

The school website and the public admissions FAQ do not publish a daily start/end timetable or detailed break/lunch times for the Shunyi campus. For exact school‑day hours and a sample timetable, the admissions office (bibsadmissions‑sy@bibs.com.cn) should be contacted.

The campus website and admissions FAQ do not provide published details of a school bus service or external transport provider for the Shunyi campus. If you need transport routes, pick‑up/drop‑off locations, or provider names and costs, contact the admissions team directly — they can confirm whether a bus service is available and share routes and arrangements.

Beanstalk International Bilingual School (Shunyi) integrates the Chinese National Education Program with IB inquiry- and project-based approaches to deliver a bilingual “BIBS+” pathway across 15 years of education from kindergarten through senior high. For early years (BIK, roughly ages 2–5) the school uses a balanced/early‑years programme that draws on PYP concepts with bilingual immersion. Primary students (about ages 6–12, elementary/G1–G6) follow the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), teaching core subjects through inquiry in both English and Chinese. Middle school (IB MYP, roughly ages 11–16, G6–G9/G10) continues the MYP framework with subject-based learning, interdisciplinary projects and bilingual delivery. Senior high (G11–G12, ages 16–19) offers the IB Diploma Programme (DP); the campus is WASC‑approved and issues a senior‑high diploma described as equivalent to a US high‑school diploma, with college counselling for university placement.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is described as a core part of the BIBS curriculum and is integrated into the Elementary programme. The site states that Years 6–10 receive a special SEL programme developed by the school psychologists to cover relationships and emotional development. The Student Welfare and Development Department is said to include psychologists and learning‑support staff who deliver or refer SEL work as needed. The school notes that SEL work has been a particular focus during and after COVID‑19 to meet student needs. Source: school Student Welfare & Pastoral Care page.

The school's Student Welfare and Development Department is described as including psychologists and learning‑support staff, and grade‑level leaders/personal tutors are used to manage and refer student issues. The website explains that particular concerns are initially managed by Grade Level Leaders and then referred to the Student Welfare Department as required. The site does not list specific categories of special educational needs (for example, dyslexia, autism spectrum, ADHD) that the school can support, nor does it state that BIBS Shunyi is a specialist SEN institution. Therefore the school does not publicly disclose detailed information about which precise SEN conditions it supports. Source: Student Welfare & Pastoral Care page.

The school describes a bilingual approach and notes the use of native English‑speaking teachers as part of its programmes on the Shunyi site. The site does not, however, set out a specific EAL/ESL programme, dedicated EAL staff, or explicit EAL entry/withdrawal support on the publicly available pages. Consequently, the school does not publicly disclose detailed information about targeted EAL provision on the Shunyi English website.

The school states that its Student Welfare and Development Department includes psychologists who deliver SEL classes and respond to student needs, with a focus on communication with parents and referral processes for more complex issues. It explains that in Elementary the homeroom teacher is the first contact for care and that at Middle/High School personal tutors and Grade Level Leaders provide continuity of care. The site explicitly notes increased demands on school psychologists during the COVID‑19 period and the provision of a psychologist‑developed programme for Years 6–10. The website does not publish a full description of any external clinical services or a detailed mental‑health policy for students. Source: Student Welfare & Pastoral Care page.

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding safeguarding and child protection on the English Shunyi campus website.

1. Book a visit or request information: Parents should use the school's published booking channel (the website's “Book a Tour” / QR-code reservation guidance) to arrange a campus visit or initial enquiry. The English admissions FAQ on the Beanstalk/ BIBS site explicitly asks parents to scan the QR code to make an appointment on working days, and this is the fastest way to see the campus and speak with admissions staff. Scheduling a visit early is useful because availability and interview slots are managed by the admissions office.

2. Obtain and complete the application form / pack: The site says you can collect an application pack from the campus Admissions Office or download the application form from the website and submit it to the campus admissions office. Parents should read the application pack carefully because it will list required supporting documents (the admissions page refers to “other materials” to be submitted with the form). If you prefer, request the pack or form by email to the campus admissions contact before your visit so you can prepare documents in advance.

3. Prepare supporting documents: The admissions pages refer to submitting the application plus “other materials” to the campus admissions office but do not publish a full checklist online; contact admissions to confirm the exact list for your child. Be prepared to provide current/previous school records or transcripts, identification (passport/ID), and any language or assessment reports — and ask the school which specific documents they require for your child's year level. Confirm document translation and notarisation requirements (if any) with admissions before submission.

4. Assessment / interview scheduling: After the school receives an application and materials, Admissions will contact you to set the interview and assessment date. Entrance assessment content varies by year level: the school's FAQ lists the entrance requirements in broad terms — Kindergarten: age check; Elementary: age, language, maths, previous records and interview; Middle/High School: language, maths, previous records and interview — so plan for both an interview and some age-appropriate English/math checks for older children. Bring originals of documents to the interview and arrive prepared to discuss your child's recent school history and learning needs.

5. Results and offer: Following the assessment/interview, Admissions will advise whether a place is offered. The website describes the assessment stages but does not publish detailed timelines for when offers are sent, so ask admissions at your interview for the expected decision date and any deadlines for accepting an offered place. If an offer is made, confirm with Admissions what paperwork, signed acceptance forms, and payments (deposit/first term tuition, if applicable) are required to secure the place.

6. Acceptance, payment and enrolment formalities: The campus website does not publish a public fee schedule or the specific acceptance-payment steps for Shunyi, so parents should request the current fee schedule, deposit policy and payment deadlines directly from the Shunyi admissions office (email and phone are listed on the campus page). Before making payments, ask for a written fee schedule and the school's refund/cancellation policy in writing. Keep copies of signed acceptance forms and payment receipts for your records.

7. Mid-year entry and start dates: The admissions FAQ states that students can join at any point during the academic year subject to availability and meeting entrance requirements. If you plan a mid-term start, check class availability, curriculum catch-up arrangements, and whether the school runs assessments only at fixed intake points or on rolling dates. Confirm start date, timetable and any orientation arrangements so your child can integrate smoothly.

8. Special needs or language support and follow-up: If your child requires English-as-an-additional-language support, learning support, or has medical/health needs, disclose this early in the process and ask the admissions team how such needs are assessed and supported. The school's college-counselling and student-welfare pages (group-level) indicate structured support services, but specific support plans and staffing should be confirmed with Shunyi Admissions and the campus student welfare team. Ask for written details of the proposed support, monitoring, and review process before you accept a place.

The Shunyi campus public pages do not publish an incoming-student scholarship or fee-remission programme. At the group level, Beanstalk/BIBS has public references to scholarship-style awards for graduating students (for example the Beanstalk “Green Vine” scholarship mentioned in the school yearbook) and the College Counselling service states it assists students in applying for university scholarships and financial support. However, there is no clear, published admissions-scholarship policy for new entrants to the Shunyi campus on the English or Chinese campus pages. If you want to pursue scholarship or financial-aid options, contact Shunyi Admissions and the College Counselling Office to ask whether any campus-level or group-level scholarships, merit awards, or financial-aid schemes are currently available, what the eligibility criteria are, and what application deadlines and supporting evidence are required. The two relevant references on the BIBS site are the college-counselling overview (which mentions help applying for scholarships) and the group yearbook/article that documents the Beanstalk Green Vine award; these illustrate that scholarship awards exist at the group level but do not confirm a standard incoming-student scholarship at Shunyi. For up-to-date, formal details request the campus' written policy or a fees-and-scholarship schedule from Admissions.

The school's English admissions FAQ does not describe a formal waitlist or central ‘pool' system on the public pages; instead the site notes that mid-year admission is possible “subject to availability.” In practice this means the campus manages places at the programme/grade level and will advise parents of available places after assessment and interview. Because the website does not publish a waitlist policy or prioritisation rules, parents who are offered a place late or who are told no place is available should ask Admissions whether their child can be placed on a waiting list, the child's position on that list, and whether deposits or acceptance forms are required to hold a prospective place. For the most reliable, up-to-date information about waiting lists at the Shunyi campus, contact the campus admissions office directly (phone and email are listed on the campus page).
