The foundation of Southlands Schools China branch at Qingdao marks the coming of a unique educational opportunity for students in China.Many of today’s Chinese students desire to get their college education in the United States, and there truly is no better way to prepare for going abroad to study at America’s top universities than enrolling in a complete American high school program.In more recent times, new programs have been developed that offer a partial American education combined with a Chinese education to help achieve the goal. Southlands Schools China is now providing students with an opportunity to bypass both of the previously mentioned options and enroll in a complete American high school while staying in China.Students that enroll in Southlands China have the chance to be immersed in an American high school where they will earn a college preparatory diploma, take advanced placement (AP) classes, interact with credentialed American teachers, and experience a campus life consisting of sports, social clubs, leadership opportunities, fine arts, and many other unique experiences.
