北京乐成国际学校

BCIS is seriously one of the best “high-achiever friendly” international schools around!You’ll work with some seriously strong teachers who constantly push you to level up. The kids are great overall (yes, it’s a very Chinese student body, but the vibe is warm and welcoming). Expat kids who join later sometimes struggle to make friends compared to those who came young and picked up Mandarin.The admin team is solid, and Head of School Julie Lawton is one of the kindest, hardest-working HOS you’ll ever meet — she genuinely cares about the school and her teachers. The community feel here is top-tier, which is why so many teachers stay way past their first contract.
