Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
• Middle States Association (MSA) — The school is accredited / certified by the Middle States Association (MSA), a U.S.-based regional accreditation body that evaluates schools against research-based standards for mission, governance, educational program, assessment and student services; MSA accreditation indicates the school has undergone an external peer-review process and is committed to ongoing school improvement.
• College Board / Advanced Placement (AP) — QSI Dongguan is a member of the College Board and offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses; the College Board is a U.S. not-for-profit organization that administers the SAT and AP programs, and membership enables students to take SAT tests and AP exams that are widely recognized by colleges and universities. (This is presented on the school's accreditation/educational partners page.)
• NWEA (assessment partner) — The school's site displays the NWEA logo (indicating use of NWEA assessments such as MAP tests); NWEA is an assessment organization whose tools are used to measure student learning growth and help teachers plan instruction. (The NWEA logo appears on the school website as an educational/assessment partner.)
• AAIE (membership/association) — The site shows the AAIE logo; AAIE (Association for the Advancement of International Education) is a professional association for international schools and leaders, providing membership benefits, conferences and leadership development rather than accreditation per se. The school's website presents AAIE as an organizational partner/membership.
The school's public website does not list any school-level awards received in the past five years. I checked the school's main pages (About / Accreditation / Admissions / Home) and the accreditation/partners area; no entries or pages describing awards given to the school (as distinct from student awards or event recognitions) were found on the site. If you'd like, I can broaden the check to QSI's wider network pages or search external news sources, but that would go beyond the school's own published information.
QSI International School of Dongguan (QSID) was founded in August 2004 and serves Preschool through Secondary students; the school's listed campus address is No. 8, Yuwu Commercial Street in Dongcheng District, Dongguan. QSID uses the QSI (mastery learning) curriculum implemented worldwide and describes its Secondary program as aligned with the U.S. Common Core; the Secondary program page also notes an Advanced Placement (AP) offering. The school's public pages list student enrolment figures on different pages (the homepage states “over 255 students,” while the Admissions Quick Facts lists 200), so you may wish to confirm current numbers with Admissions. QSID publishes information about its Chinese language program (Mandarin) with HSK preparation and a schedule of extracurriculars including athletics and a range of student clubs (Student Council, MUN, Beta Club, Mathematics Club, Chess, Yearbook, etc.).
