What's Special Education Like in Beijing
Every year when Jingkids publishes our annual School Choice Guide, there’s one question that parents invariably ask: Which school is the “best”? We’ve never been able to answer that, and frankly, we never will be. Because every child is different, and their needs are different, so the “best” school is the school that’s able to provide that specific child with everything he or she needs.
Parents should also take into consideration the school’s founding philosophy, curriculum, extracurricular activities, location, tuition fees, and tons more. But when you’re searching for a school for a child with special needs, you’ve got far more things to look into.
There are hundreds of international schools in Beijing offering a variety of curriculums, staffed with exceptional teachers, and providing unparalleled extracurricular activities. But when it comes to children with neurodivergent tendencies, the choices for schools suddenly shrinks a little. Not every international school in Beijing is able to accept students with special needs. The ones that do, however, have created programs that go above and beyond what is required, and are able to provide their students with an environment where they can thrive.
