The British School of Beijing, Shunyi (simplified Chinese: 北京英国学校顺义校区; traditional Chinese: 北京英國學校順義校區; pinyin: Běijīng Yīngguó Xuéxiào Shùnyì Xiàoqū) is an international school in Shunyi District, Beijing, China. Nord Anglia Education operates this school, situated in the residential area of Shunyi and taking pupils from 18 months through to 18 years of age (Pre-Nursery students through to Sixth form college), along with its sister school, The British School of Beijing, Sanlitun (simplified Chinese: 北京英国学校三里屯校区; traditional Chinese: 北京英國學校三里屯校區; pinyin: Běijīng Yīngguó Xuéxiào Sānlǐtún Xiàoqū), based in the central Embassy district of Sanlitun and caters for students from the age of 2 to 11 years old.
As of 2012 the British School of Beijing, then a single school composed of two campuses, was the second largest international school in Beijing. The following year it was divided into two separate schools.
In 2011 Mike Embley, the BSB headmaster, stated that the unified BSB was the centre of the expatriate community in Beijing, and the school had families with members employed by multinational corporations and embassies.
The school was founded in 2003. It was originally intended to open in September 2004, but it opened on 29 March 2004 as prospective families were already in Beijing.
Originally both Nord Anglia campuses in Beijing, Shunyi and Sanlitun, were operated as a single school, The British School of Beijing (北京英国国际学校). In 2013 they were administratively made into separate institutions.
