History

In fall 2000, a Chinese coupleYang De-ming and Grace Chen Qi, a Chinese couple who had spent many years living in the United States, returned to China to invest in and found Chengdu Meishi International School. With the backing of Meishi Group and the Chinese government, and after nearly two years of planning, a campus with a blend of the East and the West's architectural styles was opened. The school began classes on September 1, 2002.

The school is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
