This survey research pattern was to establish an applicable competency for teachers in international schools in China for setting the points of human resource work and educational business. Data collection by Likert's 5-rating scale questionnaire, had collected from 404 teachers of 5 international schools in Beijing that were sampled by a-simple random sampling technique. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics: frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The results pointed out that teachers' competencies in international schools in China should compose of 4 competencies: 40
sub-competencies divided into 34 moderately important and 6 naturally important
sub-competencies. Importantly, international schoolteachers should focus on teaching more than controlling the personal standards of the students.
