After School Activities - Dalian American International School

The After-School Activities program (ASA) at DAIS shows how learning extends beyond the traditional school day. The ASA program is aligned to the ideals of Dalian American International School. Our students develop intellect, character, and health in a safe and welcoming environment. Each school division offers a variety of activities designed to give students the opportunity to discover and develop lifelong passions, learn new skills, be active, express their creativity, engage in community service initiatives, maintain a healthy body and mind, develop leadership skills and have fun, extend and apply their classroom knowledge.

ASA runs every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:55-4:45 pm. For those living off campus, transportation is provided for a fee. For more information on busing, please click here.

Please join us for an exciting program of activities for students after school.
