Experience WAB Like Never Before: Personalized Open Houses 

The right school isn't just where your child learns—it's where they discover their passions, build confidence, and grow. That’s why Western Academy of Beijing (WAB) has reimagined its Open Houses, shifting from large weekend events to intimate, highly personalized sessions during school days—giving families a real, unfiltered look at learning in action. 

This new format allows parents and students to engage meaningfully with teachers, students, and school leadership in a setting that reflects WAB’s dynamic, student-centered approach to education. Instead of moving through campus in a large crowd, families can have deeper conversations, receive tailored guidance, and truly experience the rhythm of daily life at WAB. 

Smaller Groups, Bigger Insights 

With focused, small-group sessions, families can connect directly with faculty, explore WAB’s purpose-built learning spaces, and get answers to the questions that matter most. Whether it’s understanding how the curriculum fosters curiosity, exploring extracurricular offerings, or discussing pathways to university, these sessions are designed to address each family’s individual needs.  

Student-Led Tours 

Hearing directly from students gives families the most honest, first-hand look at life at WAB. From Elementary to High School, student ambassadors lead campus tours, sharing their personal experiences, favorite learning moments, and insights into daily life. Their stories bring the learning environment to life in a way that no brochure ever could. 

Experience a Class Firsthand 

For Middle and High School students, WAB offers the opportunity to join a real class—not a staged demonstration, but an actual lesson alongside current students. This allows prospective students to see WAB’s collaborative, inquiry-driven learning and see firsthand how teachers and students engage in meaningful discussions and projects. 

See Beyond the Brochure 

A school is more than just its facilities and curriculum—it’s about the energy, community, and culture that make it truly special. Websites and videos only tell part of the story. Step inside WAB on a school day and experience the creativity, curiosity, and connection that define our learning environment.
