See why families choose International School of Qingdao year after year

When we ask families who first joined International School of Qingdao, "why did they choose us?" they often tell us it's because of our leading English programs and university preparation in Qingdao.

That’s what draws many to enroll. But when we ask families why they choose to stay, the top answer year after year is always the same: character. 

Our students grow in more than academics. They grow in purpose, in values and in confidence. They become more thoughtful, more resilient and more honest. Parents see that—and it’s why so many stay year after year. 

In class, Ms. Rye leans in with curiosity and warmth, encouraging her students to ask questions, share ideas and dive deeper.

On the basketball court, the boys play with energy and laughter. Each pass, dribble and shot is shared with smiles and cheers—it’s not just a game, it’s a moment of joy, teamwork and friendship.

With quiet focus, the student turns each page carefully, fully absorbed in the world of her book. In this moment, she’s not just reading—she’s discovering, imagining and growing. 

It’s not just what we teach. It’s how we do it—by knowing each student, challenging them and supporting them to become people of character, competence and calling.
