Beijing - Youth Report Question and Answers

How does your school welcome new students? (Any events, buddy systems, or cool programs?)

There was a buddy system for new students, although the quality of that depended entirely on who was selected to be your buddy, so it could be pretty hit or miss. There were a lot of welcome events and info sessions, especially for parents. But, in general, because it's an international school they're used to having new students, so it's not too hard to integrate once you learn how to use Teams (which is the most important platform for the entire school). - Dec 2025
