3e International School 3e 国际学校

3e International School, since its founding by the Jonathan KS Choi Foundation in August 2005, has grown into one of the leading bilingual international schools in Beijing, providing a world-class education for children in Nursery through Elementary. Through a research-based dual-language immersion program developed especially for this education model, the school focuses on the whole child, aiming to develop “creative thinkers and collaborative learners who are able to move respectfully and appreciatively across cultures”. Classes are conducted in a balance of English and Chinese with equal time devoted to each language, and the addition of French culture and language classes for Elementary. Within this inquiry-based program, a balance of child-initiated and teacher-directed activity is provided to support a child’s development across the entire curriculum. Social competence and an appreciation of other cultures are also important components of 3e’s curriculum and instruction.

    Currently, I’m expected to enter to Beijing with a working visa, and my son is waiting for a family companion visa(S1) in Korea.
    1) Can my son enter your school during the semester?
    2) I would like to speak with someone who can speak Korean.
