Welcome to Association of China and Mongolia International Schools!
Association of China and Mongolia International Schools (ACAMIS) is a membership organization of 92 schools in Mongolia, mainland China, Hong Kong (SAR), Macau (SAR), and Province of Taiwan, with student populations ranging from fewer than 300 to over 2,500. In addition to providing students with opportunities to network and connect through sports tournaments and cultural events, ACAMIS supports school staff with a wide range of professional development programs and activities.
Welcome to the New Year, 2025, and the Year of the Snake! I hope each of you feels refreshed and energized for the remainder of your respective school years and the exciting slate of professional development activities ACAMIS has planned for this winter and spring.
Student engagement, student agency, or student empowerment—whichever term applies to your school—is among the central components of a quality education. ACAMIS is once again sponsoring two service-learning opportunities for students to further develop their leadership skills by applying for one of the two grants available this year.
The first is the Service Learning Grant and the second one is the Jim Koerschen Leadership Award. Both opportunities, valued at up to $2,500 per grant, are described in this edition of the New Year’s ACAMIS Newsletter. Please READ ON to encourage secondary students to immerse themselves in a sustainable project that benefits your school or your community. Read more
