Primary school Homeroom teacher

HD Beijing School

HD Beijing School was established in September 2017, and is a high end private bilingual school which strives to foster a global perspective and integrates the best of Chinese and Western culture to develop the talents of the children it serves.

The school is rooted in Chinese traditional culture and aims to create Chinese cultural ambassadors who are able to adapt and be successful in an international context. We have an innovative educational philosophy and aim to develop our students so that they can become global leaders.

With our primary school already fully functional, we plan to open our middle and high schools in the near future. Each classroom shares a national and international homeroom teacher, with younger grades also benefitting from a bilingual learning facilitator to support our innovative approach to education.
