Beijing Beiwai Affiliated Foreign Chinese School-Institution Review

Beijing Beiwai Foreign Chinese School is a private school invested and sponsored by Beijing University of Foreign Studies and directly managed by Beijing University of Foreign Chinese, which is a state-owned private school with primary school, junior high school and high school, and implements boarding and semi-boarding systems. Founded in 1959 to meet the needs of the current situation for foreign language talents, the school was closed in 1988 for various reasons, until 2002, when the school was reopened, and the enrollment began in the same year.

The Affiliated School of Beijing Foreign University is a national high school characteristic development experimental project school, which is supported by the Haidian District Government and the Education Commission. The goal of the school is to cultivate "double-complex" talents, that is, to cultivate "compound international preparatory talents with foreign language expertise, excellent arts and sciences, and comprehensive quality". The school has won the "Beijing Jinpeng Science and Technology Award" for many times, and the China Youth Research Center has also approved it as a "Youth Quality Education Research Base". At present, the university has established a mature preparatory education system for studying abroad, and is building a talent training course and further education system that is connected with Beijing Foreign Chinese University.

Following the teaching management model of "high intensity, high density and high severity", the Affiliated School of Beijing Foreign Chinese University has inherited the excellent educational tradition of Beijing Foreign University, with foreign language as its characteristics, and relies on the rich educational resources and international connections of Beijing University of Foreign and International Education, with outstanding teaching achievements. The Affiliated School of Beijing Foreign Studies University is directly managed by Beijing University of Foreign Chinese, and the leadership of the school is from Beijing Foreign University. It is worth mentioning that Professor Chen Lin, a senior foreign language education expert, serves as the consultant of the Affiliated School of Beijing Foreign University, and he is currently the leader of the expert group for the development of the "National English Curriculum Standards" of the Ministry of Education, and is an authority on English teaching.

The Primary School has introduced the "Taiwan Yuan Ze Science Course" to allow students to learn science knowledge and explore their interests in science in a happy experience. The curriculum has been a complete success in schools and is now being rolled out to primary and secondary schools throughout Haidian District. Lin Weimin, the then principal of the Beijing Foreign University Affiliated School, who judged the situation and kept pace with the times, believed that reconstructing the curriculum system and adjusting the curriculum map could keep children's physical and mental growth in an organic balance. To this end, the school incorporates physical, psychological, and life training into the curriculum system, focusing on cultivating children's independent life skills from an early age.

Although it is a private school, it also serves as the compulsory education task for the children of the leaders of the Silicon Valley community near the school. Compulsory education classes are only for the children of the owners of Silicon Valley, and the admission requirements, fees, curriculum, and student management are no different from those of public elementary schools. There are no lunch break beds and no accommodation is accepted in compulsory education classes, and boarding is only for students in non-compulsory education classes. The average house price in Silicon Valley is around $70,000.

The school provides a good accommodation environment for students who are not in the compulsory education in the community, and the dormitories for junior students are based on units, each unit is equipped with bedrooms, activity rooms, toilets, and life teachers to take care of them 24 hours a day. Non-compulsory education classes do not require real estate, no household registration restrictions, and the tuition fee is about 50,000 yuan per year.

In addition to the compulsory education class for interview admission, the enrollment of non-compulsory education classes also needs to participate in the interview selection, and students can have Haidian student status after entering the school. The interview of the Beijing Foreign University Affiliated School generally examines the student's observation ability, calculation ability and motor coordination ability, and memory and English are also within the scope of the examination, such as memorizing pictures in 30 seconds and repeating English sentences, which is more difficult for children who do not have a foundation in English. Parents can also consider entering the Preparatory Course, but there is no direct transition between the Preparatory Program and the first grade, and students who want to continue their studies in the first grade of the school will also need to re-register and attend an interview. The school enrolls 8 classes every year, including two compulsory education classes, with a total of about 300 students.

Fee Reference:

The tuition fee is 40,000 yuan/year

Accommodation fee: 6,000 yuan/year (boarding)

3000 RMB/year (semi-boarding)

The meal fee is 37 yuan/day
