Overview

Our Upper School at CDNIS is a vibrant teaching and learning community of just over 1,000 students and 120 staff that prioritizes opportunities for students and seeks innovative ways to prepare students for their exciting futures. One of the unique features of the CDNIS Upper School is the intentional threading together of two very strong and highly complementary programmes: the IB programmes at both the Middle Years Programme (MYP) level and the Diploma Programme (DP) level, together with the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).

The way these programmes work together and support each other in a highly developed continuum of learning is represented in the diagram below:
