Welcome to CIS, a vibrant Reception-Year 13 learning community where students flourish through a bilingual, intercultural programme of the highest calibre. Guided by caring, creative, dedicated teachers, our learners develop their sense of self, explore their interests, find many paths to success, and develop a profound sense of responsibility for the planet and the greater good.

During the fourteen-year span from Reception through Year 13, our students experience a purposeful, rigorous, and joyful academic and co-curricular programme. Our graduates are highly motivated, compassionate, confident, and culturally-competent young people who go on to thrive and lead in the world beyond CIS.

HEAR FROM OUR COMMUNITY

"The school really emphasises the Chinese core values of Ren仁, Yi義, Li禮, Zhi智 and Xin信. And during different classes, through stories, and the teachers’ interactions with the kids, they also emphasise these values.”

“My teachers are all so good that I don’t have a favourite!”

"When you walk in, what you get is a happy place where kids are smiling.”
