Giving to WAB

The Culture of Giving

Western Academy of Beijing (WAB) continues to be at the forefront of the international education scene and has enjoyed unparalleled growth and success since it opened its school doors in 1994. WAB's student population has reached nearly 1,500 and our educational and extra-curricular opportunities have exploded, including the delivery of cutting-edge information technology programs to this year's entry into the competitive Asia-Pacific Activities Conference. However, WAB's unique spirit has not changed and it is still an international school with a difference. Through a fusion of its mission, philosophy, values, and the enthusiasm and dedication of its staff, WAB provides a truly international education of preparing young people for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st Century.

WAB's incredible success is due in large part to its steadfast and strong community of alumni, students, parents, faculty, and staff as well as local businesses and multi-national corporations for their ongoing support of WAB's pioneering programs and events throughout the school year. WAB is truly a school with a heart, and you can see proof of this everywhere you turn on campus. From the involved parents who donate their time, expertise and money for educational programs and charity projects, to the students who take the initiative to lead projects that bring about positive change to our community and beyond, to an environmentally-conscious corporation that is helping to transform our campus polluted lake into a protected wetlands and outdoor environmental education center, our school is very fortunate to have talented, passionate, and giving community members.

Why Donate to WAB

A large majority (85%!?! check with finance) of school tuition fees pays for WAB as it is today -- supporting core educational programs, high-caliber teachers and administrators as well as capital maintenance and improvements. WAB is approaching its 15th anniversary. As WAB continues to grow and mature, we are looking for major partners who share our unique "can do" educational vision and want to be part of a dynamic school partnership model that will help WAB to continue to provide and enhance our education and extra-curricular offerings as well as the school's important community outreach programs. Please take a moment to review WAB's wide array of event and program sponsorship opportunities listed on the links below that you can start supporting today. No matter if you want to make an individual contribution, corporate cash gift and/or value-in-kind donation of products and services -- you can become a stakeholder in our vibrant, active, and creative community, which will have a lasting impact on the next generation of global leaders.
