Teach at International School of Beijing in China

With a history of excellence dating back more than 40 years, at ISB, we honor traditions while embracing modernity and change, preparing our students for an exciting future, and fostering a community where challenging and joyful learning is the norm. 

Our principles and beliefs are captured in our aspirational Mission and Vision statements, and these are put into action day to day through our Strategic Focus Areas by a team of highly qualified teachers and staff and a community of students, families, and alumni who share our values. With a mutual core set of values, we are all ISB Dragons. 

As you delve deeper into what makes ISB one of the world’s best international schools, you’ll discover that our pursuit of excellence is rooted in nurturing this spirit across our dynamic community, delivering world-class educational outcomes, and ensuring a supportive and enriching environment for all. 

ISB was the first international school in Beijing and today is recognized as a leading learning community. In its earliest stages, our school was made up of eight students and two certified teachers in the hallway of a diplomatic apartment compound. In 1980, amid the growth of other diplomatic communities, the U.S. Embassy joined with the British, Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand embassies and formally founded ISB.

We are proud of the community we have become over the past 40 years, built on the firm foundations put in place by those administrators, faculty, staff, students, and parents who have been part of our school over the last four decades. Our commitment is to continue this legacy to ensure we provide excellent learning and opportunities for our students in the years to come.
