SAIS is a PreK-8 school. It is a Project Based Learning School, and is heavily influenced by the High Tech High charter schools in San Diego, the Buck Institute for Education, Edutopia, as well as the Maker Movement in general. SAIS hosts school Maker Faires, and it mounts an Exhibition of Learning each spring.

Initially a China campus of Lee Academy of Maine, it was approved by the Ministry of Education of China in 2005. Due to issues regarding land, by 2008 it had not yet been built.

It was originally in Nanshan District. The school opened in its current Shekou location in January 2014.
