Chengdu International School (CDIS)

We inspire and challenge our students every day. Not just to memorize books, but to live them; not just to study science, but to experiment with it.

Thank you for your interest in Chengdu International School (CDIS)! We are here to help and happy to support you as you explore our school. Chengdu International School is the oldest international school in Chengdu as we just celebrated our 25th year of operation. We are proud of the learning culture and atmosphere we provide for students of all ability levels.

We strongly believe that it is our duty to support student growth in all areas of life. We offer high quality international education that will provide students with the tools they need to succeed at the university level and in their careers. We have a full staff of highly qualified and experienced teachers. We also believe that it is essential to prepare students holistically. In addition to rigorous academic standards, we also value and prioritize character development, social connection, and emotional growth.

We are truly an international school with teachers and students from many different countries, cultures, and backgrounds. We believe that this diversity is one of our strengths. Students at our school will be exposed to cultures, customs, and thought processes from around the world and will learn to understand the world from an international perspective. As an international school, we understand that transition is difficult for students. Therefore, we provide training for our teachers and space for our students to process transitions and grow as they navigate the challenges they are facing. Students and staff will speak English throughout the day other than foreign language classes so that students from all language groups will be able to communicate and grow as a community.

At Chengdu International School we emphasize student growth. From athletics to STEAM education to classroom projects and career preparation, we place student needs above everything. Through this focus on student needs we continually refine our practices to ensure that we are providing the highest quality international education. We hope that you will consider our school for your child and we would love to have you join our community. As you explore our website and school we are happy to connect with you and answer any questions you may have.
