Thank you for your interest in 3e International School. If you have not done so already, we invite you to visit our school and see us in action. Visits can be scheduled here. We look forward to meeting you.

Applications are accepted throughout the school year and spaces are offered based upon space availability and in accordance with 3e’s admissions policies. 3e International School seeks to offer high quality educational opportunities to all eligible students whose families identify with the school’s core values and support the school’s academic program. We aim to maintain a coeducational environment and diverse student population. In compliance with local Chinese government regulations, the school enrolls eligible children who hold a foreign passport and have at least one parent who also holds a foreign passport and appropriate working visa. At least one parent must reside in Beijing with the child.

In the case of applicants from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, in accordance with new requirements from the Beijing Municipal Education Commission (BMEC) both parents and student(s) must be foreign passport holders (including Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan). Parents from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan must hold a travel permit and at least one parent must have a work visa or certificate issued in Beijing.

Children with Special Educational Needs

Children with special educational needs are considered for enrollment to 3e on a case-by-case basis, as evaluated by the Administrative Team and Admissions Committee. Decisions are made with best practice in mind. The level of support required for the child along with the school’s scope for providing appropriate support is considered fully. 3e may not be able to accommodate a child with significant needs or where children with special educational needs are already enrolled in a class. 3e aims to place only one child with special educational needs in any class where the needs are known at intake.

Should a space be offered and additional support be required, such as an aide or additional consultation or therapies, it will be at the cost of the parents and arranged co-operatively by both the parents and 3e.

Age Requirements

Students must be age appropriate for their grades. The birthday cut-off date for all grades in 3e International School is Oct 1.
