Ningbo Huamao International School

Ningbo Huamao International School (NBHIS, Chinese: 华茂国际学校), previously known as Multicultural Education Academy (MEA), is a school for international, expatriate students and Chinese nationals in Yinzhou district, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China.

The school's vision emphasizes the importance of blending Eastern and Western curriculum, ideas, and trends so that all students can learn from one another.

Until May 2012, NBHIS (as MEA) was governed as a joint venture by Huamao Education Group and Mowbray International.

In June of that year, Hua Mao Education Group took over full operational control of MEA.

Expats and Chinese IB experienced and trained teachers teach senior school classes.

Much of the bilingual education model follows the advice of Professor Ofelia Garcia of the City University of New York.

All middle and high school students bring their own laptop computers, which is required as they engage in research and technology-based education practices.

Authorization for the PYP and DP programs was awarded in May 2012, and the school is a candidate for the Middle Years Programme (MYP).
