A Transformative High School Journey at ISB

When you think about high school, what comes to mind? For many, it’s a time of academic growth, self-discovery, and preparation for the future. At the International School of Beijing (ISB), high school is all that and so much more. It’s a place where students don’t just learn—they thrive, explore, and grow into confident, compassionate individuals ready to take on the world.


A Curriculum That Inspires and Challenges

At ISB, academics are about more than just grades. With over 180 courses to choose from, including 50+ International Baccalaureate (IB) options, students are encouraged to design a learning path that aligns with their passions and goals. Whether they pursue the full IB Diploma Programme or mix IB courses with ISB’s unique offerings, every student has the opportunity to dive deep into subjects that excite them.

But it doesn’t stop there. Through partnerships with Global Online Academy, Virtual High School, and Pamoja Education, ISB students can explore niche topics like bioethics, app development, and more alongside peers from across the globe. And with a 1:1 MacBook program, technology is seamlessly woven into the learning experience, preparing students for a tech-driven future.

Learning Beyond the Classroom

High school at ISB isn’t confined to four walls. Students are constantly encouraged to step outside their comfort zones and engage with the world around them. With over 45 student-led clubs, countless service projects, and more than 40 field trips each year, there’s no shortage of opportunities to grow.

Athletics and the arts also play a central role in the ISB experience. Whether it’s competing on the field, performing on stage, or creating in the studio, students are empowered to express themselves, build confidence, and develop teamwork skills that will serve them for life.

A Support System That Cares

At ISB, success isn’t just measured by academic achievements. The school’s complementary counseling model ensures that every student receives the support they need to navigate the challenges of high school and beyond. Dedicated school counselors are there to help with personal development and academic challenges, while university and career advisors provide expert guidance on college applications, career exploration, and post-graduation pathways.

Workshops and family engagement programs also play a key role, ensuring that students and parents alike feel supported and informed throughout the high school journey.

Preparing for the Future

When ISB students graduate, they’re more than just academically prepared—they’re ready to take on the world. With a strong foundation in critical thinking, resilience, and global awareness, ISB alumni go on to excel at top universities, pursue gap year adventures, or dive straight into specialized career paths.

At ISB, high school is more than just a stepping stone—it’s a launchpad for lifelong success.
