Beijing International Bilingual Academy (BIBA) is established in 2006. It is a school providing quality bilingual international education based on contemporary education concepts, with a focus on love and fulfillment as well as preparing global citizens deeply rooted in the Chinese culture.The Chinese name of BIBA is “Hai Jia”, originated from classic Chinese literature.“Hai” comes from “海纳百川” which means the ocean accommodates all rivers, and “Jia” comes from “嘉言懿行” which means words of virtues and noble deeds. These Chinese phrases also imply “Great and Wide”, “Splendid and Kind”. BIBA's vision is to become a model for developing internationally-bilingual ambassadors, who promote inter-cultural understanding, respect and integration in a dynamic global community.BIBA’s quality is internationally assured through a variety of accreditations and professional membership. These included accreditation by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) as an IB World School offering the IBDP and IB MYP programmes; accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) of the U.S.A., membership of the Association of China and Mongolia International Schools (ACAMIS), International Schools Athletic Conference (ISAC), and East Asia Regional Council of Schools (EARCOS).
