After a lot of hard, dedicated work for the past two years, DAIS has become fully accredited by the Council of International Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and the China National Center for Curriculum and Textbook Development. We all gathered at the Howard Johnson's in Dalian City for a night of celebration.
