Choice of further education pathways:

Student mentors will, in the process of spending time with children day and night, conduct in-depth analyses of the characteristics and potentials of children together with children and parents. They will choose different application channels based on the children's advantages. For example, for students with excellent subject grades but a late start in learning English, if they apply through the UK's green channel, they can use the scores of academic English for specific subjects to replace IELTS scores. This way, they can save the energy spent on standardized tests and fully leverage the advantage of good subject grades to enter top universities in the UK.

Students of Xicheng Academy implement a dual-mentor system from the beginning of their senior high school enrollment. One is their academic mentor who helps students with academic planning, enabling them to choose their advantageous or potential subjects in a "maximized" and "personalized" way. They use differences instead of disparities and respect the long-term development of each child.

The other is a career mentor, which is to establish a connection between academic studies and future university major applications.

Our mentors include not only our college admission counselors but also enterprise mentors and academic advisors from outside the school.

Xicheng Academy has established long-term friendly cooperative relations with world-renowned universities in Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and other countries. Among them, the university direct admission program without the college entrance examination in Germany has obtained the only officially authorized school in Beijing. It has also established a long-term and close cooperative relationship with the Beijing Admissions Office of the University of the Arts London.
