AISB-Hope International

AISB-Hope International offers a nurturing community that equips students to strive for excellence in learning and to develop Godly character in order to passionately pursue truth and humbly influence the world

Elementary school students (K-5th grade) acquire the study skills necessary to succeed in all areas of life and become independent learners.

All high school students at AISB-Hope International are enrolled in a college-preparatory program. Beginning with AP Chinese in 9th grade, students may take Advanced Placement (AP) courses to experience the rigor of a college classroom while still in high school, enhance their college admission profile, and, where applicable, earn university credits.

The opportunities that exist for our students to extend their education, develop as individuals, and find enjoyment and stimulation both inside and outside the classroom at Hope are almost limitless.

Although academic achievement is something we all strive for, at Hope we also have character development at the forefront of who we are and what we do. This is woven into the learning so no matter how students are learning, character development is helping them shape who they are and how they live together in community.

At Hope, we firstly strive to educate for wisdom, knowledge, and skills. This is achieved through developing discipline, growing confidence and students having a delight in seeking wisdom and knowledge that develop their own gifts and talents. Secondly, we educate for hope and aspiration. This helps students heal, repair, and renew to cope wisely when things go wrong as well as helping students see what they can achieve by opening horizons. Thirdly, we educate for community and living well together. This helps us focus on relationship building, participating in the community around us and developing qualities of character that enable people to flourish together. Finally, we educate for dignity and respect. We stand on the basic principle of respecting the value and preciousness of each child and person, treating each person who has been uniquely made of inherent worth.

The most important resource in any school is its staff. The success of Hope is largely due to its committed, experienced, and enthusiastic staff over the years. Our concentration this year on teaching and learning as well as the foundation we have built through ACS-WASC accreditation propels us forward to strive for excellence.

Our small school is positioned to the east of Beijing, at a safe distance from city pollution but close enough to still stay connected. Our relationship with faith groups around the city and its members is very special to us and we believe our distinctive ethos can be felt as soon as you come through our doors.

We are incredibly proud of the students at Hope and see them all as they were created to be. We feel it is a privilege to support our students through their school journey and we strive to give them the skills and strategies that will enable them to live out their aspirations and become loving, respectful people.

We recognize that every student is different and so educational support is provided in different ways. Our teachers use differentiated instruction to support learners in the classroom and they work together to better identify needs to ensure support is established across subjects.

We have a dedicated English Plus team to support our English Language Learners, who support students in the classroom and have language development classes so that students can become independent learners.

Our SENCO (Special Education Needs Coordinator) supports students with learning differences. We support all students regardless of if they have an IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) or not and we will always put the learning and social emotional needs first when developing support plans.
