Greetings and peace to you all. I hope this newsletter happily informs and shares relevant updates of our school. Being the original and longest standing international school in Qingdao, China (established in 1996), we are proud of our strong tradition in providing world-class, American education within an English environment, that holistically raises up servant leaders in every vocation. Be a part of our community that loves, learns and leads!
