Chaoyang Kaiwen Academy, Beijing

Independent reviews from teachers describe heavy turnover and management churn. One source reports eleven directors in under seven years and abrupt mid-year staff departures.
Parent-side review signal is sparse online. The 2024 legal letter from the academy's HR department demanding takedown of fourteen reviews and director reports from International Schools Review is itself widely read in international-teacher communities.
Positive working signal exists for the related Haidian Kaiwen Academy and may not transfer; that school has its own forum threads describing facilities and improvement since 2022.
Teacher Glassdoor pool sits around 3.0 with only 34 percent recommending the school. Themes: management quality, favouritism, abrupt firings, and pay compression where new hires arrive at higher salaries during shortages.
