Unfortunately all the international schools in Beijing are outrageously expensive but then again they are all private businesses.

Are you looking for a Downtown school or a school in Shunyi?

This page has many of the schools listed... http://www.china-expert.org/Internation … n-in-China

If you want to go semi-local there are a couple of Chinese schools that have an international section that are IB registered example No. 55 Middle School. http://www.bj55.cn/ I assume that they are far cheaper but that is only an assumption.

Sorry but I could not find an English version of their website.

Hi, you may enroll your son in a public school, but it will be the Chinese curriculum. IB programs are usually expensive.

Chinese schools do not normally accept foreign pupils
