Keystone Academy

A New World School

Keystone Academy, a world-class boarding and day school in Beijing, opened its doors in 2014 with nearly 300 students.  Demand for the school has been such that it has already grown to more than 925 students by the opening of the 2016-17 school year.  It is a school catering for Foundation year to Grade 12 with magnificent, purpose-built facilities. The school is located on a beautiful 20-acre site in the Shunyi area of northeast Beijing and the buildings reflect Chinese and Western architectural features, both inside and out. They aim to attract only the most outstanding educators drawn from around the world to join them as the School continues to grow. Keystone Academy has emerged from an urgent need for a new concept in the educational landscape in China and is a non-profit, self-governing, academically outstanding boarding and day school.

The extensive facilities include an exquisite performing arts building that will host visiting artists and musicians from around the world, state of the art dining commons and the most up to date science and IT laboratories.  The residence halls for boarding students feature large two-person rooms, each of which has a private bathroom.  Teaching faculty and administrators are accommodated in two, three, and four bedroom apartments.  Athletic facilities include three separate indoor gymnasiums, a twenty-five meter swimming pool, several squash courts, a fitness & training center, and indoor and outdoor running tracks.
