Saint Paul American School (SPAS) 北京圣保罗美国学校

Saint Paul American School is an American boarding school in Beijing with a standard American middle school and high school curriculum. Founded in 2007 by Nacel International System and the Second High School attached to Beijing Normal University, it enrolls students from all over the world, currently, 50 percent of whom are international students from over 20 countries and regions. Accredited by the NCA (North Central Association), SPAS adopts American school administration and grading systems, uses American textbooks and employs American experienced teachers who conduct classes only in English. For Chinese students attending the school, they have to study in Beijing for a certain time and then transfer to one of our partner schools in the US for the remainder of the high school years. SPAS provides the support and services during the processes of the school application for successful transfer. The school is close to Olympic Forest Park, with a beautiful school campus, fresh air, and transport facilities.
