Student body
As of 2022, the international division of DAIS has shrunken to the size of a pea. There are a barely any students from outside of China. Students from Germany, Korea, Russia, U.S., India, Canada, the Philippines and Japan have all left. Meanwhile the Chinese students are a majority. This year (2021-2022), the Huamei Academy had around 400 Chinese national students. In regards to the employers of the students' parents and guardians, students at the school who have one or more parents/guardians working for Intel make up some of the group. However after Covid severely impacted Dalian, those Intel families have left to reside back in America. [ The language needs of the student body is Chinese. Almost none speak english.
