Dalian American International School

Dalian American International School is an American international school in the Golden Pebble Beach National Resort, in Jinzhou New District, Dalian, China, about east of the center of Dalian. It is owned by the Honor Roll Company.
DAIS is associated with the Association of China and Mongolia International Schools. The member schools include Shanghai American School, British International School, The International School of Macao, International School of Beijing, and Dulwich College.
The American international school program, serving grades Early Years to 12, admits pupils who are not Mainland Chinese citizens. Mainland Chinese are instead admitted to the Dalian Huamei School, a 7-12 grade program.
DAIS also administers a Montessori-style preschool on campus; this preschool is administratively separate from DAIS. The quality of the food here is... interesting, but the students and staff are friendly enough.
