Chinese International School (CIS) is a bilingual Reception–Year 13 school on Braemar Hill, Hong Kong. Primary students learn in English and Chinese (Mandarin) with equal time in both languages, while Secondary instruction is primarily in English with Mandarin required at differentiated levels. The curriculum progresses from IB MYP in Years 7–9, to a school-developed programme in Years 10–11, and the IB Diploma Programme in Years 12–13. A distinctive feature is CIS Hangzhou, a required year-long residential programme for Year 10 that deepens language, cultural understanding, and service through experiential learning. The school enrols 1,500+ students and offers extensive co-curricular activities across Arts, Sports, and Service, including a weekly Service Programme led by Year 12 students. CIS operates a “Busing for All” policy for Years 3–11 to reduce congestion and emissions.
