The Beijing E-Town Academy adopts a hierarchical, classified, comprehensive, and highly selective curriculum system to fully discover and cultivate students' specialties. 

Since the establishment of the school four years ago, it has achieved fruitful results in various discipline competitions. Among them, 196 students were awarded in mathematics, 132 in physics, 134 in chemistry, 26 in biology, and 59 in informatics.

The school currently has 25 doctors and more than 160 masters in terms of faculty members. More than 60 percent of the teachers in the chemistry group have a doctoral degree. 

Meanwhile, to cultivate top talents in a certain field, the school has also set up mathematics, physics, chemistry and other high-end laboratories, according to Guan Chun, vice principal of the academy.

The Beijing E-Town Academy is not the only school that offers international education, many public and private schools as well as kindergartens in the Beijing E-Town have also introduced international teaching concepts.
