Dalian American International School (DAIS) has earned national recognition from both Hurun Education and Forbes China, placing among the top international schools in the country. DAIS is the only school in Northeast China to appear in both rankings, a distinction that reflects our commitment to academic excellence and global readiness.
DAIS was named one of the Top 30 International Schools open to non-Chinese passport holders in the Hurun Education Top International Schools in China 2025 ranking.
This respected list is based on peer review. Hurun surveyed 317 senior international education experts across China, including school leaders and education consultants. These experts identified schools that deliver strong academics and prepare students well for overseas study.
Hurun also considered university destinations and co-curricular programs. This balanced approach highlights schools that support both academic achievement and holistic development.
DAIS also climbed to #41 in the 2025 Forbes China International School Annual Selection, up from #44 last year. This ranking includes bilingual and foreign international schools across all grade levels.
Forbes evaluated schools across five key dimensions:
The ranking used standardized school submissions and verified data from over 1,000 official websites, including exam boards and accreditation bodies.
DAIS is proud to be the only international school in Northeast China recognized by both Hurun and Forbes. This achievement reflects the strength of our curriculum, the quality of our teaching, and the success of our students.
Independent rankings help families make informed decisions. They highlight schools that consistently deliver strong outcomes and provide a clear picture of quality and reputation.
