The Essentials

AISB-Hope International has 160 pupils, typical class sizes of 10, instruction in English.

Location
AISB‑Hope International is located in east Chaoyang District, Beijing — Address: Building 5, Dayu, No. 4 Courtyard, Chaoyang Farm, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100018. The school website notes the campus is in the eastern part of the city and lists bus routes serving areas such as Wangjing. For exact directions and visiting arrangements contact the admissions office.

Stages
The school is described as an international PK–12 school (pre‑kindergarten through Grade 12). Elementary grades are taught (K–5) and the high school offers a college‑preparatory programme with Advanced Placement (AP) course options.

Type
AISB‑Hope International is a co‑educational day school operated under the AISB (Australian International School of Beijing) license. The campus is a closed day campus (students stay on campus between arrival and dismissal); the school does not advertise boarding facilities.

Additional learning support
The school states it provides differentiated classroom instruction and has a dedicated SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) to support students with learning differences. There is also an English Plus team to support English language learners, and the school says it will work with IEPs or other support plans as needed.

Country affiliation
The school operates under the AISB (Australian International School of Beijing) licence; otherwise it presents itself as an international school serving a multinational student body.

Religious affiliation
AISB‑Hope International describes a faith‑based ethos with Christian language in its mission (references to ‘Godly character', relationships with faith groups, and a ‘love‑based' approach). It presents a Christian‑influenced school ethos rather than a secular or non‑religious identity.

School day structure
The school website does not publish a single, detailed schoolwide start/end time. The published bus schedule shows morning pickups around 6:58–7:06 and afternoon drop‑offs around 15:55–15:58, and the site notes the campus is closed during school hours (Seniors may leave for lunch with an off‑campus pass). For exact daily bell times and lunch/recess timings, contact Admissions.

Bus service
AISB‑Hope International offers a daily bus service for families at an additional fee and arranges pick‑up points according to student locations; the school says it has used the same trusted bus company for several years. The site publishes sample bus lines and times (for example a Wangjing line with morning pick‑ups and mid‑afternoon returns) and asks families to provide their address during admissions so a pick‑up point can be arranged. Specific routes, fees and available stops are handled through the school's Admissions/Transportation office.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Schedule a tour and information meeting. Parents are encouraged to arrange a live or virtual tour so you and your child can see classrooms, meet staff, and ask specific questions about curriculum and student supports; the school highlights scheduling a tour as the first step. Ask when tours include class visits and whether a student visit with a current student guide is possible, since that can help you see daily routines and transportation logistics.

2. Complete the online application (OpenApply). The school asks families to apply through its online portal (OpenApply); make sure you create an account and upload required documents (previous school records, immunization/medical records, passport copy) in the portal. Check the application form early so you know what transcripts, recommendations, or English-language documentation will be required for your child's grade.

3. Pay the application fee and attend admission testing/assessment. New students pay an application fee (listed as RMB 2,000) that the school states is non-refundable and due at the time of admission testing; confirm the exact amount and timing when you book testing. Admissions testing or assessments are used to place the student academically and to identify English language support needs, so arrange any needed translations or prior-school records to accompany the testing. If you have questions about testing format or accommodations, contact the Admissions office before the test date.

4. Confirm enrollment eligibility and submit legal documentation. AISB–Hope International states it is an international school and generally requires students to hold a foreign passport; there are limited, specific cases under Chaoyang Education Commission guidelines when Chinese passport holders may be eligible. Provide passport copies, visa/residence documentation, and any requested official records promptly—missing or late legal documents can delay or prevent enrollment. If your situation is unusual (dual nationality, recent arrival, or visa timing), raise it with Admissions early so they can advise.

5. Placement decisions and factors to expect. Grade placement is determined by a combination of the student's age, academic assessments, previous school records, recommendations, and social development; the Admissions team works with the Business Office and reserves final placement authority. Expect the school to request samples of recent schoolwork or report cards and to consider English-language level when placing students into grade or support programs (for example, English Plus). If you need specific support services, discuss available learning support or EAL/English-plus programs during the admissions conversation.

6. Receive placement, pay deposits and fees to secure the place. After placement is offered you will receive billing details; the school lists one-time and recurring charges for 2025–2026 (examples published include a Capital Levy of RMB 10,000, a tuition deposit for new students of RMB 15,000, returning-student deposit RMB 12,000, and an English Plus fee of RMB 18,000 for G1–G9). Tuition ranges published for 2025–2026 run approximately RMB 168,000 to RMB 276,000 depending on grade; bus fees and other annual charges (e.g., bus RMB 9,800–12,600) are additional. Deposits are described as non-refundable but credited toward tuition; ask Admissions for a full, current tuition & fee schedule and written payment-deadline dates before you sign.

7. Finalize logistics and stay in contact. Confirm your chosen payment plan (the school indicates alternative payment options and semester payments may be available for an additional fee), bus route and pickup/drop-off if you need school transport, and any school-entry paperwork such as health forms or emergency contacts. Keep copies of receipts for deposits and payments and ask for clear deadlines for returning required forms to avoid losing the offered place. If anything in your situation is time-sensitive (visa arrival dates, late transfer, sibling enrollment), contact Admissions by email or phone to confirm timelines and next steps.

Scholarships
AISB–Hope International's public pages do not advertise a scholarship or formal financial-aid program on the school website. The school's site describes fees, deposits, and donation options, but it does not present a published scholarship policy, means-tested aid program, or merit scholarship competition on its admissions or fees pages. One third‑party school-fees listing references a sibling discount (15%)—that listing is not the school's own page, so confirm any sibling discount or concessions directly with Admissions in writing before relying on it. If you need financial assistance or have questions about fee reductions, outreach to admissions@aisb-hopeintl.org.cn or the Business Office is the recommended next step; ask for written details of any discount, eligibility rules, renewal conditions, and whether awards are fixed-term or annual.

Waitlist
Publicly available admissions information on the school website and contact pages does not describe a formal waitlist process or a published waitlist policy. The admissions pages outline tour, online application, assessment, placement and deposit steps but do not state that applicants are placed on a waitlist or explain how a waitlist would operate. If you anticipate limited seats (for example, applying mid-year or for a popular grade), contact Admissions directly to ask whether they keep a waitlist, how applicants are prioritized, and whether waitlist positions are valid beyond the current academic year. For direct confirmation use the school's admissions email or phone lines noted on the contact page.
