CDNIS describes Social and Emotional Learning as a core part of its student development. The school highlights fostering self-awareness, resilience, empathy, growth mindset, and positive relationships across all year levels. SEL is integrated into teaching practices and the wider school culture, rather than being delivered as a standalone subject. While the website outlines the intended outcomes, it does not provide detailed information about dedicated staff roles or specific programmes.
The school does not publicly disclose detailed information about SEN support on its website. It states that it delivers the IB continuum within an inclusive framework but does not specify the kinds of Special Educational Needs it can support, nor does it identify itself as a specialist SEN institution.
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding EAL. While CDNIS offers both an International Track (English) and a Bilingual Track (English/Chinese) in the Early Years, no dedicated EAL programmes or provisions are described on its public website.
CDNIS promotes student wellbeing through its SEL framework and community initiatives such as Local & Global Engagement and experiential learning opportunities. The website does not provide details about specialist counselling staff or mental health programmes dedicated to student wellbeing.
CDNIS has a published Child Safeguarding Policy, which references the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the International Task Force on Child Protection standards. The school identifies a designated Child Protection Lead and outlines clear responsibilities for safeguarding and reporting. The policy is reviewed annually and applies to all staff and community members.
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.
