Canadian International School (CIS) is a private international school in Singapore, that celebrates its internationalism with 70 nationalities represented among its students and staff.

The Canadian International School follows the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum from Kindergarten through to Grade 12.
The Kindergarten program for the youngest learners (aged 2 to 5) and the Primary School program for students in Grades 1 to 6 are delivered within the Primary Years Programme (PYP) framework.
Secondary School students in Grades 7 to 10 follow the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), and students in Grades 11 to 12 study the internationally recognized IB Diploma Programme (IBDP).
CIS’s pedagogical approach focuses on developing 4Cs skill-sets students need to succeed in the 21st century: Critical thinking, Creativity, Communication, and Collaboration.
The curriculum is complemented with a broad range of languages.
CIS offers a pioneering bilingual Chinese-English program, which is available to students in pre-kindergarten to grade 6.
CIS also offers a French-English bilingual program for Senior Kindergarten to Grade 6.
