A Seamless Experience for Your International Family
For international families coming to Beijing, choosing the right school for your children is a top priority. We understand that this process can come with many questions and considerations.
At the Canadian International School of Beijing (CISB), we firmly believe that the admissions process should not be a barrier, but a bridge connecting your family to a supportive educational community. Our process is designed to be clear, efficient, and supportive, ensuring you feel confident and secure at every step—from your first inquiry to the first day of school.
Below, we detail our thoughtful 5-Step Admissions Journey to help clarify the path ahead.
Step 1 : INQURY - Your Dedicated Guide
It all begins with a single point of contact. When you submit an inquiry through our online form, phone, or email, you’re immediately assigned a dedicated Admissions Officer.
This officer will become your personal liaison at CISB, providing one-on-one support throughout the entire process, answering all your questions, and ensuring you receive clear guidance and thoughtful service.
Step 2: VISIT - Experience Our Community Firsthand
We invite you to visit our beautiful campus or to schedule a virtual meeting. This is a perfect opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of CISB’s unique educational model.
You will see firsthand how we seamlessly integrate the International Baccalaureate (IB) programs with the Canadian (New Brunswick) curriculum, have a chance to explore our facilities, classrooms, and learning spaces, and truly feel the atmosphere of our vibrant school community.
Step 3: APPLICATION - A Clear & Transparent Process
When you are ready, you can submit your application through our secure online portal, OpenApply. We provide a detailed Application Checklist to help you efficiently prepare all necessary documents, including school reports and passport copies.
The entire process is clear and transparent, keeping you informed at every stage.
Step 4: ASSESSMENT & INTERVIEW - A Holistic View of Your Child's Potential
After receiving your child’s complete application, we will arrange a meeting with the relevant Principal and an English proficiency assessment, if needed.
This process is designed to gain a comprehensive understanding of your child’s unique strengths and areas for further development, ensuring we can provide the right support for their academic and personal success at our school.
Step 5: DECISION - An Efficient and Timely Response
We understand your need for timely planning. Therefore, following the completion of any assessment and/or interviews, we will communicate the formal admissions decision within 1-3 working days (5-7 working days during peak periods).
From a completed application to a final decision, the entire process typically takes just 1 to 2 weeks. We are committed to providing an efficient and timely response, allowing you to plan your next steps with peace of mind.
We look forward to welcoming you in Beijing and supporting your family as you embark on this exciting educational journey.
