Tetsushi Takahashi of Nikkei Shimbun wrote that Beijing Bayi School is "prestigious".[2] Evan Osnos of New Yorker wrote that the "exclusive" Beijing Bayi School was known as the "cradle of leaders" (领袖摇篮; lǐngxiù yáolán).[3]

History

Nie Rongzhen established the school in 1947.[4]

Campuses

The school has three campuses: Main, North, and Elementary.[1]

The original campus was in a building that previously functioned as a residence for a prince who lived in the Qing Dynasty.[3] It is about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north of Zhongnanhai, the residential facility for the top leadership of China.[2]
