Qingdao No. 1 International School of Shandong Province

Qingdao No. 1 International School of Shandong Province (QISS) opened on August 16, 2007 to students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12. It was briefly housed in the international wing of Qingdao No. 2 Middle School before becoming the cornerstone of Qingdao City Construction and Investment Group's international education park in Laoshan district. The 2010–2011 academic year marked the move to a new campus with state-of-the-art facilities. The school is overseen by the Qingdao Local Bureau of Education and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and a member of ACAMIS. Approximately 300 students from over 30 countries attend QISS.

QISS enrolls approximately 300 students from more than 30 countries, reflecting a diverse international community. The 48,000-square-meter campus is located in the Laoshan district of Qingdao and serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The school supports a range of community programs, including Little Sharks for early learners, Wellbeing initiatives anchored in the Leader in Me framework, and QISSMUN, alongside Student Council and an Alumni network. The school's community infrastructure is visible in the presence of programs such as Little Sharks, QISSMUN, and other student-led activities across its campuses.

The Parent Teacher Association at QISS is a volunteer organization made up of all parents/guardians and staff. The PTA exists to provide positive support for educational excellence, while celebrating our cultural diversity and fostering a spirit of community. Its purposes include developing a closer connection between school and home, supporting academic and enrichment activities, and providing volunteer and financial support. PTA General Members are all parents/guardians and staff, and they may attend quarterly General Assembly meetings. The inaugural PTA Executive Board is appointed by volunteers, with elections for the Board held annually beginning in May. Funds raised by the PTA come from donations, school events, and sponsoring companies and are used to support enrichment requests, social events (such as the Welcome Social, PTA Gala & Silent Auction, and other activities), refreshments at events, and the QISS Spirit Wear program.
