Academics
CIS aims to develop understanding and encourages students to enquire and to think critically and creatively. The school strives for balance among the disciplines and for balance between classroom and non-classroom learning.
In Primary, equal time is devoted to the two languages of English and Chinese (Mandarin) and much of the school-developed curriculum is delivered in both languages.
In Secondary, we offer the IB MYP curriculum in Year 7-9, a unique school-developed curriculum in Year 10-11, and the IBDP curriculum in Year 12-13. Chinese is mainly taught as one among the subject areas, while also being foregrounded through the dual-language Chinese History programme (Years 7-9), the two-week China Experience Programme (Years 7-9) and the year-long CIS Hangzhou programme (Year 10).
