Canadian International School of Hong Kong (CDNIS) delivers the full International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum, which includes the Primary Years Programme (PYP) from Early Years 1 to Grade 5, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) from Grades 6 to 10, and the Diploma Programme (DP) in Grades 11 and 12. In addition, students in the Upper School graduate with the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), a qualification from the Canadian province of Ontario. In the Early Years, families choose between a Bilingual Track (English/Chinese) or an International Track (English), with Chinese taught at multiple proficiency levels. French and Spanish are also introduced as language options in later grades. This dual qualification pathway ensures that students leave with both the IB Diploma and the OSSD at graduation.
The CDNIS Early Years Centre (EYC) serves children aged 2–3 in bilingual (English/Chinese) or international (English) tracks within the IB Primary Years Programme framework. Located at THE SOUTHSIDE in Wong Chuk Hang, the centre runs half-day Nursery (age 2) and EY1 (age 3) programmes. The bilingual model provides roughly equal exposure to English and Chinese, with dedicated teachers and a bilingual educational assistant in each class. Families will find clear operational details, including no bussing for EYC (bussing applies to the main campus only). Schoolwide, CDNIS offers a through-train IB continuum (PYP, MYP, DP), with over 2,100 students. Distinctive programmes include strong technology integration (1:1 devices and coding/robotics beginning in lower grades) and community engagement through Local & Global Engagement initiatives. Fees for Nursery and EY1 are published annually; in 2025/26 Nursery Half-Day (Bilingual) is HK$138,600 and EY1 Half-Day (Bilingual) is HK$156,300.
