Our approach encourages language acquisition and cultural appreciation, making it an ideal foundation for a bilingual or multilingual international school setting. In a multi age classroom, younger students naturally learn from older peers who model English communication, creating an organic and social way to develop language skills. Children are encouraged to express themselves without fear of mistakes, fostering confidence in speaking and using English daily.
The Early Childhood program provides materials that engage multiple senses, reinforcing phonological awareness, vocabulary, and language comprehension through tactile, visual, and auditory experiences. Classrooms are designed to expose children to spoken and written English in meaningful ways, through storytelling, labeled objects, and conversations with teachers and peers.

Throughout their education at our Early Years Program in Dalian, we make sure our students have the help they need to realize their potential. Any child experiencing difficulties will be identified, supported, and looked after by our dedicated Learning Support team. Support is tailored to the student and their needs, allowing them to develop personally, academically, emotionally, and socially.
Every student receives EAL support which considers their individual level and adjusts instruction to allow every student to experience personal success in English and their mother tongue.
At Dalian American International School (DAIS), we’ll make sure your child has everything they need to learn, grow, and succeed.
