High School

We encourage all of our high school students to participate in service projects in the school and community. This prepares the way for a leadership style in every student that prioritises the welfare of others.

Visual arts, music and drama are a crucial part of learning at Qingdao. Student life is enriched through artistic expression and learning collaboration, determination and the joy of high performance. Students will have the opportunity to perform on campus during our Drama events and Fine Art Galas, and in Tianjin for the annual Fine Arts Festival.

China is an amazing stage for learning and experiences, and our Chinese program is no different. Chinese classes cater to beginner, novice, advanced or native Chinese learners, with small classes to differentiate instruction and meet students at any stage in their Chinese story.

Our Advanced Placement® (AP) program courses offer university-level courses and exams to our students who desire to deepen their knowledge of specific subjects to explore future university majors and careers. AP is recognized by more than 3,600 universities worldwide and 85% of selective institutions report AP experience favorably impacts admission decisions.

Student electives and clubs provide pathways for students to explore interests and work together to create, learn and grow. Clubs and electives change based on interests and schedules but often include journalism, Student Council, Model United Nations, National Honors Society, broadcast, internships and more.

We provide high school students with grade-specific college and career guidance, including research assistance, application support, and opportunities for students to learn from alumni and university representatives. Parents and students can discuss graduation and future plans with our university guidance counselor.
