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.
