Mission
Connect, Inspire, Challenge: Make a Difference.
The Western Academy of Beijing provides a learner-centered atmosphere that nurtures a strong sense of community among our 1,400 students in our mission to "Connect, Inspire, Challenge: Make a Difference".
Our Mission
At WAB, our mission statement is the cornerstone by which we interact as a community and design strategic plans for the future.
Now a top international school in China with 1,400 students and world-class facilities, WAB looks towards the future while honoring the past.
Mission Elements
A school’s mission statement describes what a school is seeking to achieve as a community of learners. Our mission logo shown here is the culmination of collaboration by nine stakeholder groups: WAB’s Founders, the Board of Trustees, Director, parents, teaching staff, support staff, students, alumni and friends of WAB.
Along with our Philosophy and Core Values, WAB’s mission provides the context for our daily activities as well as the framework for our strategic direction.
Under this unifying mission, both the long-term vision for our school and the day-to-day practices are clear. With a shared commitment to this mission, WAB’s future as a leading, top-tier international school is assured.
