Another academic year is complete! We’ve created a highlights video for a look back at stand-out moments and achievements for the International School of Beijing (ISB).  

ISB has been providing high-quality learning and memorable, peak moments for students, families, and staff since 1980. Continuing this history of excellence, 2024-2025 saw our students achieve and grow in academics, sports, social-emotional learning, and the school’s leading performing arts programs. Former students networked and gave back to the school in a way that’s only possible with an alumni association this strong and well-established.

And the year held big community events including International Day, the ISB Spring Fair, and a parent book study through which ISB has taken a lead on the era-defining issue of children’s relationship with social media.

Through it all, classes were challenged and found joy in innovative academic and vibrant co-curricular programs empowering those taking part. ISB is a place where everyone belongs and a bridge between China and the rest of the world. With efforts including a new study abroad program that’s welcoming guests from around the world, we will keep working to provide a leading educational experience and inclusive community for global citizens.

As ever, ISB's work in 2024-2025 was driven by the school's Mission and Strategic Focus Areas. These were drawn up after a consultation to establish what is most valued by the ISB community and to consolidate our efforts and resources into three main focus areas: challenging and joyful learning; empowering students with purpose and compassion; and ensuring strong relationships in the school's inclusive community. Read our news articles for plenty more examples of the Strategic Focus Areas in action.

ISB is an extraordinary school, made so by a tradition of educational excellence spanning 40 years. Establishing, nurturing, and growing such an exceptional learning community has been and remains intentional; we work hard to build strong relationships so our learning is at its best.
