About Us

INTRODUCTION

Recognized as Hong Kong's Leading International School by the Hong Kong Business magazine's High Flyers campaign for four years, the Canadian International School of Hong Kong (CDNIS) is a non-profit school that provides a "through-train" education to students from Pre Reception (3 year olds) through to Grade 12 graduation. The school currently has just over 1800 students representing over 40 nationalities.

Also considered as one of the leading schools in South East Asia, CDNIS is an IB World School fully authorized to deliver the International Baccalaureate's Diploma, Middle Years and Primary Years Programmes. The school is also authorized to grant credits toward completion of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), thus providing a "dual passport" for graduates to gain entry into top universities throughout the world.

CDNIS is located on the south side of Hong Kong Island in Aberdeen over looking the spectacular backdrop of the Lamma Channel and surrounding islands. Students are nurtured, inspired and challenged in an award-winning designed campus with superb facilities, including the spectacular 606-seat Leo Lee Arts Centre, which opened in May 2008.

The language of instruction and communication is English, with Mandarin and French taught as second languages. In addition to academics, the school is particularly strong in the areas of technology, sports and the arts. With a strong focus and emphasis on developing international mindedness and global awareness, students are equipped with an understanding of the need to meet the challenges posed in the school's mission statement; to develop responsible global citizens and leaders through academic excellence.
