Eaglebridge International School

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 levels elementary through high school.[1]

It was established by Adventists from the United States who wanted to attract K-12 international students in Dandong. It opened in October 2012, at the time the New Yalu River Bridge, a major bridge between Dandong and Sinuiju, North Korea, was planned. The school had 200 students, including about 50 North Koreans, in 2016, a number below the original eventual projection of 300 students. China-North Korea relations had declined by that time, and the bridge's construction was not completed.[2]

Campus

The school has boarding facilities for secondary and elementary students; secondary students live in rooms with two or four students each while elementary students live in house-like environments.[3]
