Joy around the World @ISQ Christmas Fair

ISQ Christmas Fair – Christmas around the World

On Saturday we held our annual Christmas Fair at ISQ. The theme, Christmas around the world, transported visitors across the globe. We had artisanal gifts, specialty and international foods, delicious baked treats and many great products for sale.

There were plenty of activities for children, including outdoor adventure fun, indoor crafts, Christmas movies, coloring-in, a reading corner and of course Santa!

With over 200 items to be won in our famous raffle, our lucky raffle winners walked away with some wonderful prizes! Proceeds from the day will go to charities and community programs.

We are so grateful to all our generous sponsors, parents, students, teachers and everyone else who worked together to make this day such an enormous success.

A blessed and joyous season to all!

Our AQI Policy

Dear Parents,

As winter sets in and AQI rises, we wanted to share with you how we safeguard your child in this season. Please take time to review our outdoor AQI policy here. In the future, you can find this policy along with our other policies under our parents page.

If at any time you are concerned about high AQI levels in Qingdao, please provide your child with pollution face masks for the travel to and from school. Our indoor air filtration system will keep your child safe once they’re inside.
