History
In fall 2000, a Chinese couple — Yang De-ming and Grace Chen Qi — who had been living in the United States for many years, came back to China to invest in and establish Chengdu Meishi International School. With full support from Meishi Group and the Chinese government, through almost two years of elaborate planning and hard work, a campus with a mixed design and style of the East and the West and with the state-of-the-art facilities, came into being. The school was officially opened on September 1, 2002. Thereafter, Chengdu Meishi International School ended up the history that there was not a true international school, which should be authorized by the Sichuan Provincial Government, in Chengdu.
The school is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
