Hangzhou Chinese International School

CIS Hangzhou runs from a mini‑campus on the Greentown Yuhua School (GYS) campus in western Hangzhou (Jiangcun/Xihu District). The partner campus address is listed as No. 532 Wenyi West Road; the site is on a large private school campus in the west of the city. Public transport serves the area (Hangzhou Metro Line 5 has stations serving the Xihu/Jiangcun area), and the campus is within the wider West Hangzhou university/education zone—parents should check local maps for exact travel times from your accommodation.

CIS Hangzhou is a tailored, single year‑level programme built for Year 10 students (a one‑year residential Year 10 intake). The learning experience is autonomous from the partner school and focused on that single year group.

The programme is co‑educational and residential: CIS operates the Year 10 mini‑campus and boarding facilities on the GYS site, with on‑campus dormitories, house system and 24‑hour pastoral supervision. It is part of Chinese International School (Hong Kong)'s curriculum offer rather than a separate day school.

CIS maintains Student Support services at its Hong Kong campus (learning enhancement, language support and counselling teams) and the Hangzhou programme emphasises personal attention, pastoral care and social‑emotional counselling within the residential setting. Because Hangzhou is a small, single‑year residential programme with limited boarding capacity, families with specific or complex Additional Learning Needs (SEN) should discuss individual provision with CIS Admissions to confirm suitability and available accommodations.

CIS Hangzhou is a mainland China residential programme run by the Chinese International School (Hong Kong) in partnership with Greentown Yuhua School; it is an extension of the Hong Kong school rather than an independent national school.

Chinese International School is listed with no religious affiliation; CIS/Hangzhou is not a faith school.

The programme combines on‑campus academic lessons, experiential/field learning in Hangzhou, and residential life routines; the residence is staffed 24 hours a day with Coach Mentors and Heads of House for pastoral care. Detailed daily timetables (class times, study periods and house activities) are set by the programme each year—contact Admissions for the current term timetable.

There is no published regular day‑student bus route on the Hangzhou programme pages; because students live on campus the programme focuses on on‑site accommodation and organised excursions. Parents visiting the campus typically use local transport (the Jiangcun/Xihu area is served by Hangzhou Metro Line 5 and local roads to Wenyi West Road). For organised transfers (airport pickups, parent visits or off‑campus trips) ask CIS Admissions or the Hangzhou programme team for the latest arrangements and any provider details.
