Hi, my name is Grant Holley and I work for Beijing Royal School. We are very sorry that while these comments are incredibly exaggerated, there might be more truth in those comments than we would like to admit. There was a time in BRS history that some of the information found in the comments was true. We did have administrators that did not understand the differences in culture and created an environment that was not conducive to good teaching. In the same respect there was one or two teachers who were more interested in tearing down our institution rather than building it stronger. We have since made incredible changes. If you are interested in working with Beijing Royal School this is a vital key to both your and our success……you must realize that this school is a mix of two cultures that are only just learning how to work with one another. Management, teaching, and living conditions are all areas in which we all must learn and bend. Every year BRS is making great strides to strengthen these understandings. Our teaching and administrative staff is made up of very talented individuals from both cultures and decisions are being made accordingly. Schools like Beijing Royal are where Chinese/American cultural understanding will occur. This is where children from both cultures will come to ensure that they do not make the same mistakes countries of the past have made. Wanting the next generation to be better is where our two cultures meld beautifully and this is the point where Beijing Royal grows. We are pioneers and in every pioneer’s story there are lessons to be learned and sometimes hardship. We are strong enough to keep working through these hardships to keep building a school that will change the world and we are looking for a few individuals that share the same fortitude.
