School History: How BNDS Began
Early Years: Founding and First Name
Beijing National Day School first opened in September 1952. It was originally called the New Beijing Ten One Primary School. This means it started as a school for younger children.
In 1962, the school's name changed. It became known as Beijing City Ten One School. This new name reflected its growth and changes.
Changes in School Management
For a period, the school tried a different way of operating. In 1993, it started a "public-owned and private-run" model. This meant the government still owned the school. However, a private group helped manage its daily operations.
Later, in 2009, the school changed back. It returned to being fully public-run. This means the government took full control of its management again.
International Programs and Accreditation
The school has also grown its international offerings. In 2013, its international program received a special approval. This approval came from the International Baccalaureate (IB) organization.
Getting IB accreditation means the school meets high global standards. It shows that BNDS provides excellent international education. This helps students who want to study abroad.
