Opening in the fall of 2026, BASIS Bilingual School Beijing will bring our renowned curriculum to the capital of China. The school will launch with grades Pre-K through 9 and will grow into a Pre-K through Grade 12 school, designed to serve up to 2,300 students with modern boarding facilities for 800.
Located on the north side of Anfu Street in Houshayu, Shunyi District, the campus sits in one of Beijing’s most dynamic and international communities. Shunyi has become a hub for world-class education and a popular area for families and educators alike. With its thriving expat neighborhoods and access to the best of Beijing’s cultural and educational opportunities, it offers an ideal environment for a new BASIS Bilingual School to flourish.
Building the Flagship Campus of Northern China
As construction progresses, excitement continues to grow for what will soon become one of the most advanced BASIS International & Bilingual Schools campuses in the network. Founding Head of School, Mark Iver Sylte, shares what makes this new campus so special.
“If you have seen the purpose-built schools that BASIS International & Bilingual Schools has opened over the last few years in Shenzhen, Wuhan, and Chengdu, then you know the enormous investment that they pour into its facilities. BASIS Bilingual School Beijing is designed to be the flagship campus of the north, with outstanding classrooms, libraries, science labs, lecture halls, music and theatre spaces, and athletic venues. The care and attention to detail that goes into the construction of BASIS International & Bilingual Schools impresses everyone.”
A Community of Passionate Educators
As planning continues for the school’s opening, the founding team is seeking dedicated, curious, and creative educators to join our newest school community.
“Our parents, our students, our teachers, and our support staff are what give BASIS International & Bilingual Schools its vibrancy and life. We are now in a search for caring and charismatic teachers to join us as we open BASIS Bilingual School Beijing in the Summer of 2026.
What defines the type of person whom we look for? First, you are a disciplinary expert. Whether you work with kindergarteners in a Reggio-inspired, play-based classroom, are a primary school humanities or math/science instructor, a classics teacher, or a subject expert in a secondary classroom—you know your field and cannot wait to excite students with what you know and love. Perhaps you’re a musician, an actor or director, or a coach. No matter, you love your craft and sharing it with eager young minds.”
For educators seeking a collaborative, high-performing environment in one of the world’s most vibrant cities, BASIS Bilingual School Beijing represents both a career opportunity and a chance to help shape a school community from the very beginning.
“If this sounds like a place where you could be at your best, and if a community of like-minded colleagues is what you are looking for, I hope you’ll contact us to start a conversation about BASIS Bilingual School Beijing.”
