In 2006, Beijing Royal School was China’s first to introduce AP courses and remains the only AP Teaching Demonstration School in the country, authorized by the College Board. With 100% College Board-certified teachers, we currently offer 34 AP subjects, enabling personalized academic pathways.

Bilingual AP textbooks authored by BRS master AP teachers have been instrumental to student success. Over the years, Beijing Royal School has maintained a high pass rate in AP exams, facilitating the successful conversion of many graduates’ AP scores to U.S. college credits, enabling them to graduate early from college.

In January 2018, Beijing Royal School became an IB World School, authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and mutual respect. IBDP is globally recognized by top universities worldwide.

BRS’s IBO authorization was achieved in less than two years because of the school’s abundant international education experience, outstanding teaching faculty and ample school facilities. The school offers 17 core courses of six major subjects, and the faculty includes a number of official subject examiners with extensive IB teaching experience.

Since 2003, Beijing Royal School has offered IGCSE and A Level programmes accredited by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE).

The school is an authorized course and examination centre in China for CAIE, Pearson Edexcel and Oxford AQA. It is also a strategic partner of CAIE and an Oxford AQA Gold School.

The school currently offers 18 IGCSE and A Level subjects, including key subjects critical for competitive university applications worldwide. Our A Level teaching faculty includes several official CAIE teacher trainers and test markers.

At the Middle School level, the school implements an integrated curriculum framework. Rooted in the Chinese National Curriculum, it is complemented by the Cambridge Secondary/IGCSE curriculum, enabling students to engage in in-depth, globally-oriented learning.

BRS offers a wide variety of other courses for both our international and local students. Many are designed to support students in reaching the higher levels of our rigorous international curricula. Other are courses of special interest, designed and delivered by expert teachers. Still others are offered for students with specific goals beyond high school, such as attending university in very specific countries, or achieving specific benchmarks set for themselves.
