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]
