Sharing our story, honoring our teachers and building connections
September 12, 2025
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!

Quarterly tuition reminder
A friendly reminder that quarterly tuition payments are due by September 15. Thank you for your partnership in supporting the excellence of an ISQ education.
LifePlus principals conference
This week we welcomed several principals from partner schools. Their visit brought encouragement and fresh perspectives as we continue building strong connections across the LifePlus network.
Middle & High School Sports Kickoff
Our Middle School boys and girls teams traveled to Yew Chung International School of Qingdao for their first games of the season! It was a great opportunity to compete, grow, and represent our school with pride. Meanwhile, our High School volleyball team also went to QISS for their first league game of the season. We are excited to cheer them on and share updates soon.
Teachers’ day celebration
September 10, we celebrated Teachers’ Day! We are grateful for the dedicated educators who pour into the lives of our students every single day.
Connection sticker day
Students and staff joined together for Connection sticker day, reminding us that every life matters. This was part of Suicide Prevention awareness, and we are proud to see our community standing together for hope and connection.
Recognized for excellence
