The Chinese International School offers an enriching dual-language

intellectual curiosity and independent, critical and creative thinking,
with a view to allowing all students to achieve their full potential.
The primary school, Reception-Years 6 (US Pre-Kindergarten-Grade

to read, write and speak both English and Chinese to age-appropriate
levels. The core subjects are taught in English only but other subjects
are taught through the medium of both languages. In the secondary
school, Years 7-13 (US Grades 6-12), all students undertake the
IB Middle Years Programme in years 7 to 11 and the IB Diploma Programme
examinations. The school has an excellent record of success in the
Diploma Programme and students are regularly accepted at leading
colleges and universities throughout the world. The medium of instruction
in the secondary school is English, although Chinese is a required
subject for all students. There are special classes for students
who enter the secondary school with limited or no Chinese background.
The student body is comprised of children of diverse national, ethnic
and religious backgrounds. Some 25 nationalities are represented
in the student body, with the majority coming from Hong Kong, USA,
UK and Canada. The school offers a wide range of co-curricular activities,
