Canadian International School of Hong Kong

香港加拿大國際學校 — IB World School (full continuum)

Canadian International School of Hong Kong (CDNIS) operates the full IB continuum and is located in Aberdeen on Hong Kong Island's south side. It has built a strong reputation for its bilingual (English-Cantonese/Mandarin) programme and for producing students who gain entry to competitive universities in North America, the UK, and Asia.

CDNIS's language programme is a notable strength: students receive meaningful Chinese instruction from the earliest years, and many graduates leave with genuine working proficiency in Mandarin or Cantonese alongside their English base. The school's cultural perspective is shaped by Hong Kong's international character, with students from a wide range of backgrounds.

The IB Career-related Programme (IBCP) — alongside the traditional Diploma — provides an additional post-secondary pathway particularly for students whose career interests are vocational or industry-specific rather than purely academic.

Admission requires a non-Hong Kong permanent resident status or foreign passport (regulations are specific to the International section). The school is heavily subscribed; early application is strongly advisable. A building levy is charged at admission.

Fees, admission requirements, and year-group availability change annually. Confirm current details directly with the school's admissions office before applying.
