This is a fantastic opportunity for a forward-thinking, ambitious and experienced professional to join our team as the Head of School for the Dalian American International School and Dalian Huamei School - educating international and local students on the same beautiful campus in Northeast China.
The School
Dalian American International is an American international school in the Golden Pebble Beach National Resort, in Jinzhou New District, Dalian, China, about 60 kilometres east of the centre of Dalian. Founded in 2006, DAIS has provided every student with an opportunity to achieve personal excellence and to contribute to the global community. It serves students of approximately 30 nationalities in Pre-K through 12th grade. The language of instruction is English for all classes with the exception of proficiency levelled Mandarin classes and the school follows the American curriculum.
Dalian Huamei School was established in 2010 and provides bilingual education in grades 1 to 12 for full-time Chinese students. Based on the Chinese curriculum requirements, the courses incorporate elements of an international program, such as American English and the sciences. Lessons are given in Chinese and English, creating an immersive learning environment. Guided by our School Wide Learner Outcomes, we aim to help students develop academic competence, core qualities, and character strengths through courses and activities, in preparation for lifelong learning.
The Dalian School has world-class school facilities, which include specialist classrooms and extensive sports facilities including an indoor swimming pool, and athletics area. It offers a 7-day boarding programme in its unique Campus Village residential which also provides premium accommodation to many faculty members.
As part of the Nord Anglia Education family of schools, the school shares resources and knowledge with over 80 other Nord Anglia schools around the world. Nord Anglia's exclusive Global Campus connects Dalian students with a global community based in 33 different countries worldwide. We also enjoy exclusive collaborations with The Juilliard School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), UNICEF and IMG Academy, as well as all the benefits of being part of an extensive network of leading international schools.
