WAB was founded in 1994 and since that time, has been guided by its Mission to "educate our children to reach their full potential in a warm and caring community that fosters excellence and responsibility."

WAB educates the whole child, champions its staff and involves parents. Our Core Values, living realities, which inform decision-making and ensure that we fulfill our mission, are as follows:

•Learner-centered
•China-Global Coherence
•Mosaic of Diversity
•WAB Spirit ('gong he')
•Caring

WAB's inclusive and celebratory approach to teaching and learning has taken on a characteristic WAB flavor that has been incorporated into the design of our modern, student friendly campus, which incorporates six buildings:

•Four school centers catering for each of its learner communities - Early Childhood Center (ECC), Elementary School (ES), Middle School (MS) and High School (HS)
•HUB Sports Arts and Technology Center (shared resource for MS and HS)
•Properties Department (WAB facilities and events)

Each school center is carefully designed to reflect and integrate the learning programs and developmental stage of the students. WAB is a home away from home, where students enjoy learning in a caring, stimulating environment with teachers who provide the best in educational programs. It is also a school where parents are always welcome and one that reaches out to serve and share with the community.
WAB is a high tech school, with all students using wireless laptop computers as an essential tool in their daily learning. A strong emphasis is placed on developing a strong sense of global awareness and action through community service.
WAB is different. It is alive with a unique, exciting quality that makes you wish you could be a student again. It buzzes with energy, activity, color, caring, laughter and smiles!

We are sure that after visiting WAB, you too will find that WAB is the right choice for you and your family.Western Academy of Beijing
