Canadian International School (Lakeside Campus)

Canadian International School (CIS) is one of Singapore’s most established international schools, founded in 1990. While it bears the Canadian name, it is a fully authorized IB World School offering the Primary Years, Middle Years, and Diploma Programmes. CIS is widely recognized for its pioneering bilingual programs in Chinese and French, which utilize a proven immersion model rather than teaching the language as a separate subject.

The Lakeside Campus is a purpose-built facility located in the western part of Singapore, overlooking Jurong Lake. The school places a heavy emphasis on 'STEAM' (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) and has dedicated makerspaces where students engage in hands-on learning. Its philosophy is built around developing students who are globally minded and equipped with 21st-century skills.

Notable features include the Outdoor Discovery Centre, which promotes nature-based learning for younger children, and a sophisticated performing arts wing. CIS attracts a highly diverse community and is known for its inclusive atmosphere and strong parental involvement. The school's graduates consistently achieve IB scores well above the global average, securing placements in top universities worldwide.
