Dalian American International School

Dalian American International School (DAIS; Chinese: 大连美国国际学校) is an American international school in the Golden Pebble Beach National Resort (金石滩滇), in Jinzhou New District, Dalian, China,[1][2] about 60 kilometres (37 mi) east of the center of Dalian. It is owned by the Honor Roll Company.[3]

The American international school program, serving grades Pre-Kindergarten to 12,[3] admits pupils who are not Mainland Chinese citizens.[4] Mainland Chinese are instead admitted to the Huamei Academy (华美学院), a grade 9-12 program.[5]

The organization owning DAIS administers a Montessori-style preschool on the DAIS campus; this preschool is administratively separate from DAIS.[6]

History

Honor Roll established DAIS in 2006 after Intel asked for an international schooling option for children of its employees; Intel had started operations in the Dalian area that year.[3]

Student body

As of 2012 the international division of DAIS had 300 students, with 52% being American, 23% being Korean, and the remainder from 19 other countries. That year Huamei Academy had 40 Chinese national students. In regards to the employers of the students' parents and guardians, students at the school who have one or more parents/guardians working for Intel make up the largest number.[3]
