About this school
Chinese International School (CIS) opened in 1983, founded by Nelly Fung, Kin-yue Fu and Joyce Tai to combine Chinese and Western education for children of any nationality. It is a non-profit charitable organisation governed by the Board of Governors of the Chinese International School Foundation, and today has more than 1,600 students aged 4 to 18.
The school is fully bilingual. In Primary, English and Mandarin receive equal time, and each homeroom is co-led by a native English-speaking teacher and a native Mandarin-speaking teacher. In Secondary, Years 7-9 follow the IB Middle Years Programme, Years 10-11 follow a school-developed curriculum, and Years 12-13 take the IB Diploma. Year 10 students spend a full residential year at CIS Hangzhou, a study centre on the campus of partner school Greentown Yuhua School, opened in 2013.
The single Braemar Hill campus, opened in 1991, is built around three central courtyards overlooking Victoria Harbour. CIS is accredited by CIS (Council of International Schools), the IB and NEASC, and has an alumni network of more than 6,000.
