The American international school program, serving grades Pre-Kindergarten to 12, admits pupils who are not Mainland Chinese citizens. Mainland Chinese are instead admitted to the Huamei Academy (华美学院), a 7-12 grade program.DAIS also administers a Montessori-style preschool on campus; this preschool is administratively separate from DAIS.

History
Honor Roll established DAIS in 2006 after Intel asked for an American schooling option for children of its employees; Intel had started operations in the Dalian area that year.

Student body
As of 2022, the international division of DAIS has shrunken to the size of a pea. There are a barely any students from outside of China. Students from Germany, Korea, Russia, U.S., India, Canada, the Philippines and Japan have all left. Meanwhile the Chinese students are a majority. In the 2021-2022 academic year, the Huamei Academy had around 400 Chinese national students. In regards to the employers of the students' parents and guardians, students at the school who have one or more parents/guardians working for Intel make up some of the group. However after the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted Dalian, those Intel families have left to reside back in America.  The language needs of the student body is Chinese. Almost none speak English.
