Teach at Western Academy Beijing in China

The Western Academy of Beijing was founded in 1994, at a time when there was a need for additional school spaces to accommodate the growing expatriate community.

Now a top international school in China with 1,400 students and world-class facilities, WAB looks towards the future while honoring the past.

WAB was founded with a strong sense of purpose, recognizing that there was a need for a truly international school that put children at the center of its efforts, embracing the experience of being in China and responsive to its community. After more than 20 years, WAB continues its tradition of excellence and embodies the spirit of its founding.

The Western Academy of Beijing provides a learner-centered atmosphere that nurtures a strong sense of community among our 1,400 students in our mission to "Connect, Inspire, Challenge: Make a Difference".

Our Mission:

A school’s mission statement describes what a school is seeking to achieve as a community of learners. At WAB, our mission statement is the cornerstone by which we interact as a community and design strategic plans for the future.

Under this unifying mission, both the long-term vision for our school and the day-to-day practices are clear. With a shared commitment to this mission, WAB’s future as a leading, top-tier international school is assured.

School Campus:

The architecture and design of our campus buildings were creatively planned and executed to make a lively and connected learning environment. Our innovative classrooms were designed to be flexible to support a variety of educational experiences at our Beijing international school.

WAB has continued the redesign and renovation of its campus buildings to create more flexible, dynamic, and multifunctional learning environments.
