Saint Paul American School Beijing (SPAS; ) is a defunct private English-language boarding school (''de facto'' education program and part of the Second High School Attached to Beijing Normal University, or SHSBNU) in Haidian District, Beijing, aimed at grades 7-12 students from the expatriate community of Beijing, and international exchange students.
St. Paul American School is part of the Nacel International School System, with sister schools in the United States, Korea, Philippines, and France. Students receive courses in Chinese language, culture, and history taught in conjunction with SHSBNU in addition to US curriculum instruction in English leading to a Saint Paul American School diploma (Nacel International School System). The dual diploma gives students the chance to learn in the American educational system while also learning about Chinese history, culture, and language.
In November 2022, the school administration announced that it would suspend operations for at least one year due to inability of recruiting new students due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of August 2023, the school has ceased to function.
SPAS belongs to the Qinghe campus of the Second High School Attached to Beijing Normal University (SHSBNU). This campus, located just to the north of Beijing Olympic Forest Park, is home to several boarding school programs (collectively the International Division of SHSBNU, including SPAS) and a public middle school program. Facilities on campus include two dormitory buildings, library, laboratories, computer and technology center, full-sized gym, a Chinese and an international cafeteria and more. An outdoor multi-purpose court with a running track, basketball courts, and soccer field is accessible to students.
