Eaglebridge International School (EBIS; simplified Chinese: 丹东鹰桥国际学校; traditional Chinese: 丹東鷹橋國際學校; pinyin: Dāndōng Yīngqiáo Guójì Xuéxiào) is an international school in Zhenxing District, Dandong, China. It includes grades kindergarten through high school.[1]
History
It was founded in Dandong by
Adventists from the United States for K-12 international students. It opened in October 2012, at the same time as the New Yalu River Bridge was planned, a major bridge connecting Dandong and Sinuiju
, North Korea.
In 2016, the school had 200 students, including about 50 North Koreans, which was less than the original projection of 300 students. China - North Korean relations had deteriorated by that point, and the bridge's construction had not been completed.[2]
Campus
Secondary and elementary students can board at the school; secondary students live in rooms with two or four other students, while elementary students live in house-like environments.[3]
