Columbia International School operates a dormitory for boarding students. The dormitory, built in March 2000, is located about an eight-minute walk from the campus and houses both girls and boys. A dorm supervisor lives on site, and the building features security measures including fingerprint entry and personal identification door systems. Breakfast and dinner are served in the on-site cafeteria from Monday to Saturday, and boarding students have access to vending machines for snacks and beverages; a bedding lease and cleaning service are available for a fee. No meals are provided on Sundays or during national holidays and school holidays, and dorm residents cannot stay in the dormitory during the winter break.
Uniforms are in place for different year groups. Junior High School and High School have summer and winter uniforms, and Elementary students have their own uniforms as well. The uniform set includes a CIS vest and CIS gym clothes.
The on-site cafeteria provides breakfast and dinner for boarding students from Monday to Saturday, with vending machines available for snacks and beverages. The school also operates a School Lunch program with CIS partnering with Cezars Kitchen K.K. to prepare balanced meals, including from-scratch cooking and options for halal and vegetarian dishes.
The school was established in 1988 by Kabushikigaisha US Canada Gakuen, and, by 2010, Kabushikigaisha US Canada Gakuen was running Columbia International School G1 to G9. This indicates that the school is privately owned and operated by that corporation.
