WAB was an Olympic Educational Model School for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Out of the 500 schools across China who were awarded by Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games as an Olympic Educational Model School, WAB was one of the 120 schools awarded as an Excellent Example. In 2013 Mike Embley, the headmaster of the British School of Beijing (BSB), stated that WAB was, along with BSB and the International School of Beijing (ISB), one of the top three English-language international schools in Beijing, all having long waiting lists.〔Stefonek, Jonathan. "(Passion for teaching English-style grows in Beijing suburbs )" ((Archive )). ''China Daily''. 7 October 2012. Retrieved on 2 October 2015.〕 Citing Embley's definition of two lower tiers of Beijing Anglophone international schools which have vacant student spaces, Tristan Bunnell, the author of ''The Changing Landscape of International Schooling: Implications for Theory and Practice'', stated that this was an instance of the idea of "'superior' and 'inferior' schools" shared by teachers and parents.〔Bunnell, Tristan.
