What Jped Academy 达罗捷派学院 does

JPED Academy (达罗捷派学院) is a private K-12 international school founded in 2016 in Beijing, operating a single consolidated campus in Chaoyang District (Anzhen Xili, North Third Ring) following a 2023 merger with Beijing BISS International School. The school delivers an American Common Core State Standards (CCSS) curriculum taught in English combined with what it describes as the first fully implemented cross-disciplinary Project-Based Learning (PBL) methodology in China. Students complete 8-10 PBL projects annually and 30+ over four years, with three PBL formats: PBL Studio (15-17 week flagship personal projects), Workshop (short-cycle experiential for grades 1-12), and IDU (interdisciplinary units for middle school). The school holds Cognia international accreditation (2022), College Board CEEB code, and official SAT test center status (2024), ensuring transcript recognition by global universities.

The school's product portfolio includes a CCSS academic curriculum with differentiated instruction across 8+ levels, a College Counseling & Guidance System running from Grade 9 through graduation using BridgeU and Millie platforms, a Mentoring System at a 1:5 teacher-student ratio, a Co-op Program Center combining classroom instruction with internships (partnered with Chinese Academy of Sciences and 100+ enterprises), Hands-to-Work Community Service (80+ hours annually), Global Impact Projects (Yunnan, Kenya, Cambodia), and student-initiated social enterprises (J Coffee, WAVES drama, JPED Action, Gowow, Uocan). Supporting teaching faculty is reported at 45% foreign nationals, 80% with Master's degrees or above, and 70% from Oxford, Brown, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, Washington University, and University of Queensland.

The business model is recurring tuition and fees with both boarding and day options, supplemented by summer program revenue and College Board SAT test administration fees. Go-to-market is sales-led: open days, campus tours, WeChat registration, community referrals, college fairs, and IACAC-hosted events. The customer base consists of Beijing families seeking K-12 international education for children ages 5-18, with primary segment being Chinese parents pursuing overseas university admission outcomes. Across 4 graduating cohorts and 54 graduates, the school reports 315 university offers from 8 countries, 100% Top 60 US university admission for 6 consecutive years, 92% scholarship rate for the 2025 cohort (highest individual award $144,000 USD), and an average of 6+ offers per student. No external funding rounds have been disclosed, and the school is privately held under founder Jing Pei (敬沛), with Executive Principal Mo Dandan (莫单玉) and Principal Richard Pratt (潘和平).
