Head of School Welcome

It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to the Canadian International School of Hong Kong – one of Hong Kong’s leading international schools!

Each school day, over 2,200 students and 340 staff enter our two campuses, encouraged, inspired and motivated by a joy of teaching and learning and a focus on excellence that are touchstones of our vision and mission at CDNIS.

The 2024-2025 academic year does indeed mark an exciting chapter for CDNIS with the launch of our second campus at THE SOUTHSIDE and the expansion of our bilingual programme to include our youngest learners. Our new Early Years Centre, developed in partnership with teamLab, is a state-of-the-art facility that will ignite the imaginations of our Nursery and Early Years 1 students, fostering a lifelong love of learning from the very start of their education journey.

As our students continue through our coherent and well-aligned learning journey of Early Years, IB Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme, and the culminating years of the Diploma Programme alongside the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), we remain deeply committed to preserving the "one school" spirit that unites our community. This spirit is reflected in our emphasis on core values such as open-mindedness, responsibility, and integrity, which help students contribute positively to their school, community, and world.

As you click through our website, if you have any questions, please send them our way. Our Admissions team would also love to hear from you, so feel free to reach out and send them an email. We look forward to hearing from you!
