AP Chemistry class

Over the past seventeen years, Dalian American International School and Dalian Huamei School have been providing personalized learning environments designed to help our children achieve outstanding results. Our students are given the tools to become global citizens, blending the best that East and West have to offer throughout their time at school.

We are proud to announce that our students have been steadily achieving exceptional academic results over the past years, well ahead of the China and global average scores.

DAIS SAT and AP scores in 2023

Our school's AP and SAT scores this year are outstanding. The most common score on AP exams during the 2023 administration was a score of 5. We administered 317 AP exams in May, a school record for DAIS/DHS. One hundred eleven of the exams earned a score of 5, which is the highest possible score.

Students’ performance in Music Theory, English Language & Composition, English Literature, Physics C: Mechanics, Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism, Chinese Language, and Calculus BC far exceed the average global scores and those in China.
