WHY STUDY AT BWYA?
BWYA is an independent school founded in 2001. We pride ourselves on the quality of education and the care we provide to our students. We offer an innovative K-12 curriculum that places students at the centre of their learning.
"Locally Grounded, Globally Aware" is a phrase we often use to describe our school. It means that we seek to embrace our local heritage and culture while also recognising that 21st-century international education requires a global outlook and exposure to a world of great opportunities. Within this context, we are pragmatic, cooperative, and eager to work and learn together.
Beijing World Youth Academy strives to provide members of our community excellent learning opportunities that incorporate critical investigation, exposure to different cultural perspectives and assessment against objective criteria. Our mission is to develop principled, open-minded thinkers who are capable of integrating with diverse international communities and who are empowered to shape their environs for the improvement of quality of life for themselves and others.
We are committed to excellence and united by our shared values:
- Compassion - We respect and empathise with the rights, opinions, culture, and feelings of others.
- Trust - We believe that honesty, integrity, and reliability in ourselves and others forms the cornerstone of our community.
- Solidarity - We value harmony and oneness whilst recognising the individuality of each person in our community.
- Collaboration - We recognise that the development of the student is the shared responsibility between the student, the family, and the school.
We implement the highly regarded IB Learner Profile throughout our school, which incorporates the following learner attributes:
- Inquirers
- Knowledgeable
- Thinkers
- Communicators
- Principled
- Open-minded
- Caring
- Risk-takers
- Balanced
- Reflective
Beijing World Youth Academy considers no aspect of its operation or administration more important than the health and safety of its employees, students and visitors. This is achieved by maintaining safe and healthy working conditions and by fostering a culture focused on awareness, open communication, safety education and supervision, with safe working methods. Safeguarding is a priority for the BWYA community.
