Ningbo Huamao International School (NBHIS, ), previously known as Multicultural Education Academy (MEA), is a school for international, expatriate students and Chinese nationals in Yinzhou district, Ningbo, China. The school opened its doors in 2006 on the grounds of Huamao Foreign Language School. It is in the fast developing Yinzhou District next to Wanda Plaza and close to the University of Nottingham Ningbo Campus. Hua Mao Foreign Language School is a primary, middle and senior school of 5,000 students. NBHIS has 650 students and more than 110 teaching staff from over 35 countries. The school is co-educational and open to both boarding and day students. The 650 students are split into three groups: 450 doing the IB programmes leading to tertiary options around the world, 100 foreign students doing the HSK for entry into Chinese universities, and 100 Chinese students in Sino-Canadian and Sino-American programs. ==History== Huamao Group purchased an ‘international school’ from Denise Bradford in 2006. The school was originally called the Australian International School Ningbo, then Huamao Multicultural Education Academy (MEA) and now, due to a government license change, allowing NBHIS to accept Chinese natioanls alongside foreign nationals, it is Ningbo Huamao International School. It initially held as many as 40 students but dwindled to eight paying students in early 2008. During that year Hua Mao searched for a ‘western partner’ to help manage MEA. In 2008 the school signed a joint venture agreement with Mowbray International to jointly manage it. In early 2008, Paul Stephens arrived as interim principal with his wife and two children. Stephens stayed at Hua Mao until the agreement was signed in September 2008. Ivan Moore arrived in December 2008 and was considered the founding principal. The school has undergone 6 sets of renovations and facility developments, vastly changing the facilities. The school has built two new reception area, dance drama studio, music suite and Music auditorium, staff room, a library and a reading room, home economics room, soft play areas, and indoor and outdoor play areas, and, in 2015, a new kitchen and dining room for primary students and an adventure playground. Classrooms are well equipped with access to internet, data projectors and computers. The school is in Hua Mao Foreign Languages School, a school of more than 5,000 students. The Hua Mao campus has two stadiums, indoor swimming pool, three large auditoria that seat between 300 and 500, a $10 million art gallery designed by Wang Shu, and a five-storey science museum with a cinema that can seat 260. The three three objectives in the school's early development were: “make it safe, make it fun, and make it academically rigorous”. The vision of the school notes the importance of mixing Eastern and Western curriculum, ideas and trends, to enable all students to learn from each other. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Huamao International School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
