The Early Years Centre does not offer boarding.
The Early Years Centre uses the CDNIS school uniform, supplied by Untold Horizons. New students purchase the uniform through the online store or the second-hand supplier. The uniform update introduced in August 2023 is noted, with the previous uniform usable until June 2025. Early Years items include the standard uniform components listed in the Uniform List, including a house shirt for PE.
Cafeterias are available on the CDNIS campus for dining.
CDNIS has a house system. New students are assigned to a house, and houses include Bear, Raven, Mountain Lion, and Orca. A house shirt is included as part of the uniform for related activities.
CDNIS is registered as a private international school and as a non-profit organization. It operates with a two-tier governance structure consisting of the Council of Members and the Board of Governors, with the Board providing strategic direction and oversight and the Council comprising founders and past governors.
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.
