Canadian International School of Hong Kong

Canadian International School of Hong Kong (CDNIS) has long been a benchmark for educational excellence and enjoys a strong reputation as one of Asia’s top international schools. The foundation of our success lies in the delivery of a balanced, holistic, stimulating education to students from Early Years through to Grade 12. In August 2022, the Lower School introduced a bilingual Chinese and English programme as part of its Early Years Programme, which will expand up through the Lower School until 2028-2029 when all of the Lower School will be bilingual. 

Our school prides itself on offering high quality educational experiences to those who will lead the next generation. To make this possible, we hire candidates who nurture academic and personal growth in students by encouraging inquiry, stimulating creativity, and inspiring innovation. Teachers lead students to embrace cross-cultural and global perspectives, and foster meaningful participation and service. 

The student body is comprised of over 2,100 students representing more than 40 nationalities. A non-profit International Baccalaureate World School, CDNIS provides a comprehensive IB education. Our students graduate with both the IB Diploma and Ontario Secondary School Diploma, allowing them to gain acceptance to the world’s most prestigious universities. 

The school’s largest campus housing Early Years 2 to Grade 12 is situated in the Southern District of Hong Kong Island, overlooking the picturesque Lamma Channel and surrounding islands. In August 2024, the new CDNIS Early Years Centre was created at THE SOUTHSIDE where our Nursery and Early Years 1 students grow and thrive in a purpose-built, dynamic and creative teaching and learning space.
