Beijing Collegiate Academy International School

This DB entry points to the same campus as Beijing International Bilingual Academy (BIBA) in Houshayu, Shunyi, with the same founding year, head and website. Founded in 2006, around 1,300 to 1,700 students from age two to eighteen.

Curriculum is bilingual: US Common Core elements through elementary, the Chinese national curriculum running alongside, IB MYP in middle school, then IGCSE in Grades 9 to 10 and a choice of IB Diploma or A-Levels at senior school. Faculty roughly evenly split between Chinese and international staff. WASC accredited.

Parent voice is broadly positive on the bilingual model and the engaged PTA, with a steady warning thread that the school is large and that experience varies by section and homeroom team. Families who specifically want fluent Mandarin alongside an internationally recognised diploma stack tend to land here. Those wanting an English-dominant expat school with smaller numbers usually look at WAB, ISB or BCIS instead.

• Online discussion treats this name as an alias for Beijing International Bilingual Academy (BIBA); both refer to the same Shunyi school at bibachina.org.
