At the Danish school in Beijing our main goal is to teach Danish to our students, for them to be able to return to Denmark and join the Danish school system at the grade level that suits their age and/or pass the Danish 9th grade exams – it's the four exams in ‘mundtlig dansk, skriftlig fremstilling, retskrivning og læsning’. Students can sit their exams in Beijing in May/June each year. 

With the approval of the Danish Ministry of Education, WAB is the first and only school in Beijing to have permission to offer the Danish national examinations, which mark the end of Danish schooling, Folkeskolen. The certificate Danish students earn from passing the test opens up opportunities for further education in Denmark, where Danish is often required for university admissions. 

To offer the best quality of Danish language learning, we have hired a Danish teacher to run the Danish language program. All Danish lessons follows the Danish Curriculum “fællesmål” and we use official Danish teaching materials in our classes. 

The Danish program is an after-school program that runs from Monday through Thursday for Elementary, Middle, and High School students. Our youngest Danish learners (KG to Grade 1) have classes on Saturday mornings (subject to change depending on number of students). 

The Danish program is also open to students who do not attend WAB, and students who don’t have Danish as their mother tongue. 

Independent fees apply per student:

• Danish EY4 (Pre-k) 10,000 rmb
• Danish Junior Grade 1-8: 17,600 rmb
• Danish Grade 9-12: 21,700 rmb

Svenska i Beijing (SiB) offers Swedish at Western Academy of Beijing.

After a few years hiatus, SiB once again offers Swedish lessons to children who use Swedish as an active language at home.

The lessons offered aim to make the children curious about the Swedish language, maintain their level and use the language in contexts other than the family. We offer our students to speak Swedish in a playful way, about Sweden and the Swedish culture.

During the academic year 22/23 we have two groups at WAB (Room 2206, ES building):

• Tuesdays, 4 p.m to 5:45 p.m. for children up to 10 years old
• Wednesdays, 4 p.m to 5:45 p.m. for children 11 years and up

We begin the class (for both groups) October 11 with an information/annual meeting, where both parents and kids are welcome to meet the board and our teacher.
