Qingdao Amerasia International School (QAIS) has been recognized in the competitive 2026 HSBC Forbes China International Schools Ranking, placing 44th on the International High School list and 25th on the International Kindergarten list, reflecting the strength of its full continuum from a nurturing, child-centered Early Years foundation to strong academic pathways in the Upper School. 

Schools are evaluated across key areas: academic outcomes, including university placements and exam results; school reputation and influence, based on surveys and brand recognition; faculty and educational quality, such as teacher experience and curriculum strength; and facilities, resources, and internationalization, including campus, diversity, and global opportunities. 

QAIS views this recognition as both an affirmation and a responsibility. While rankings highlight measurable outcomes, what matters most to us is the kind of human beings our students become. Through our Amerasia approach and deep commitment to peace education, we strive to nurture compassion, empathy, and the courage to engage with the world thoughtfully and respectfully.
