Two Global Pathways, One Holistic School Vision

In 2025–2026, Dalian American International School will celebrate its 20th anniversary, and Dalian Huamei School its 15th. Over the past decade, we have built a mature international curriculum and developed extensive overseas study resources.

Career interest assessments show that many students have discovered their passions and academic strengths at our school, motivating them to pursue higher education. To meet Dalian families' growing demand for global education options, we are expanding our curriculum to include A-Levels alongside our existing American High School Curriculum and AP courses, providing students with direct access to top universities worldwide.

Academic advantages of A-Levels

A-Level at Huamei will be built on NAE’s Global Excellence. As part of Nord Anglia Education (NAE), we benefit from proven A-Level expertise across 90 schools.

This year, NAE students achieved outstanding results:

  • 60.5% A*-A grades (vs UK average 41.7%)
  • 77.3% A*-B grades
  • Oxford International College (NAE sister school): 92.47% A*-A, 100% G5 university rate.

NAE’s academic strength extends beyond operations – its subsidiary Fieldwork Education develops the IPC/IMYC curricula used by leading global schools, giving us inherent teaching advantages.
