What We Do

WAB believes that our commitment is to educating open-minded seekers, builders and users of knowledge. At the same time, students must acquire skills and attitudes that will meet the needs of the 21st century.  In keeping with our mission, we have a responsibility to ensure that students are connected, inspired and challenged every day.  In educating the whole child, we support the individual needs of each student and value their unique contribution to our school. 

WAB is an IB World School offering the Primary Years Programme (ECC to Grade 5), the Middle Years Programme (Grade 6-10) and Diploma Programme (Grade 11-12). These provide students with a broad academic experience that emphasizes the inter-relatedness between subjects.

The IB curriculum is based on the premise that the individual student is at the center of all teaching and learning. It has been developed to incorporate an international perspective, which reflects developments in curriculum research from a range of different national and international sources.

The curriculum explores transdisciplinary themes and develops lifelong skills, such as the ability to conduct research, communicate effectively, function successfully in different contexts, manage one's health and life, and think critically and relatively.  It also fosters positive attitudes such as respect, tolerance and responsibility and provides opportunities for meaningful action and social service.

WAB is accredited by the IB, the Council of International Schools (CIS), the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and China's accrediting body, the National Center for Curriculum and Textbook Development (NCCT).

By any standard, WAB is a remarkable school...with purpose-built facilities, which are on a par at least with the finest in the international schools in the world. More than that, it has developed an enviable and richly deserved reputation for offering a vital, stimulating and challenging education to its very international student body. - Council of International Schools
