The Canadian International School of Beijing (CISB, Simplified: 北京加拿大国际学校, Traditional: 北京加拿大國際學校, Pinyin: Běijīng Jiānádà Guójì Xuéxiào) was founded in 2005. The school was established as a State Level Project through the Chinese Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Education, the Government of Canada, and the New Brunswick, Canada, Department of Education.

CISB has students from over 70 countries.^[1]

CISB operates under the guidance of the New Brunswick, Canada, Department of Education. The founding organization of CISB has a history of operating schools in China with three other schools in China,^[2] including an International School in Shenzhen, and two schools delivering the Canadian Curriculum to Chinese Nationals in both Beijing and Shenzhen.

CISB offers a facility with a Canadian education curriculum. The grade levels at CISB range from Montessori Preschool to Grade 12.

The Canadian International School of Beijing is a 3 programme IB World School^[3] and offers the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (IBDP/DP).

Curriculum

CISB offers a Montessori Kindergarten from 18 months to 3 years old and an internationally recognized Canadian curriculum through an agreement with the New Brunswick, Canada, Department of Education.^[4]

In the early years, the curriculum provides an emphasis on the skills, knowledge, and attitudes students will need for later success. As the students progress into Middle School, the subject areas broaden to provide them with experiences in specific curriculum areas and to introduce new interests. In High School, the program begins to become more focused as we prepare students to meet the requirements for university entrance.^[5]

In addition, CISB is a 3 programme IB World School^[3] offering the International Baccalaureate PYP, MYP and Diploma Programmes.
