Beijing Shuren Ribet Private School

Beijing Shuren Ribet Private School (SRPS; Chinese: 北京市私立树人•瑞贝学校) is a K-12 private school in the Artist's Village area of Tongzhou District, Beijing. It has both day and boarding programs.

Background

Beijing Shuren Private School was founded in 1993 by Ms. Wang Jianchao, a former university professor, when China had just opened its policies to private institutions. During a time when only public education was available, and extracurricular courses had to be found outside of the school system, Ms. Wang wanted to create a more wholesome educational institute that nurtured creativity and encouraged the discovery of all aspects of a child's potential, academically and otherwise. Based on these simple principles, a new type of school was created. Students and visitors from various regions of the world have visited us ever since, and our students, as young as 11 years old, have had the opportunity to participate in numerous international exchange programs.

American High School

The American High School prepares students for further education in the United States (or other major English speaking countries). Here we teach an American curriculum that exceeds standards required by most major universities. A strong emphasis is placed on Chinese language and culture for both domestic and international students. This very individualized curriculum as well as their experience in China will benefit them for a lifetime in their language abilities and cultural understanding. English learners are provided a strong ESL support program to help them transition smoothly into the full curriculum.

College counseling is provided by our Principal. A detailed record is kept on grades, standardized scores, behavioral reports and attendance records for each student. When the student is ready for graduation, this record is then used along with a letter of recommendation and other documents for student's application for further education.

Additionally, 11th grade students should plan on taking the SAT or ACT during the autumn of their junior year.
