“As an educational institute, we take pride in offering a unique Canadian curriculum and providing an international and qualified teaching team as well as a positive learning environment for our students.
Our student body represents more than 60 nationalities. The students mainly come from diplomatic and expatriate families. They range from toddlers to high school. With this solid foundation, we aim to make even greater achievements.
We look forward to welcoming your family to the Canadian International School of Beijing and hope you find your child’s studies with us rewarding.“

CISB's Indoor Air Quality
We take our indoor air quality very seriously and have implemented a number of measures to ensure our CISB community is breathing safe air. These measures include:
- Installation of a new, automatic air purification system providing fresh, clean, monitored air directly into each classroom
Installation of Pureliving’s Air Filtration system throughout the campus (hallways, classrooms, gymnasiums, cafeteria, pools, etc…) - Air purifiers installed on all buses
- Regular monitoring of indoor air quality
- Air Quality protocols that restrict door access on bad air days, determine if and when windows can be opened when air purifiers must be on and for how long as well as when students are prevented from going outside (see our ‘Policies’ link for more detail)
- Air-pressurized
doubled-door entrances/exits - Sealed windows throughout campus
