Top 7 A Level Schools in Beijing

This guide is written by Tutopiya’s education experts to help families compare A Level options.

Beijing has a varied mix of international and premium schools, some of which offer Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel A Levels after IGCSE/GCSE. This guide highlights those A Level pathways and deliberately excludes full IB-only and American-only schools, even if they are popular for other routes.

How this list is ranked (and what “A Level results data” really means)

When comparing A Level options in Beijing, useful datapoints include:

• A*/A and A*/A/B rates across recent exam sessions
• Subject breadth, especially in STEM, Economics/Business, and humanities
• Number of entries per subject and approximate cohort size
• University destinations in the UK, Europe, Asia, and North America
• Accreditation and track record with Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel

Where detailed statistics aren’t easily available, parents rely on inspection/accreditation reports, teaching quality, and the strength of exam support systems.
