The Canadian International School of Beijing (CIS) was founded during the fall of 2005. It was with the strong support of the Chinese Government, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Canadian Government that the official establishment of CIS was made into a State Level Project.

On September 2006, CIS officially opened its doors to welcome parents and students from all over the world.  CIS currently has students representing over 30 countries and this number is growing ever so quickly as our enrollment increases.  CIS operates under the strict guidance and oversight of the Ministry of Education in Canada.  The founding organization of CIS has a long and successful history of operating schools in China.  Currently, the organization has three other schools in China, including one International School in Shenzhen, and two schools delivering the Canadian Curriculum to Chinese Nationals in both Beijing and Shenzhen.

CIS offers a world-class facility with an internationally recognized Canadian education curriculum. The grade levels at CIS ranges from Montessori to Grade 12 with a maximum capacity of 1700 students.
