In August 2013, CIS launched a one-year academic and residential program of the highest calibre in Hangzhou. It is the first program of its kind.

Hangzhou CIS invites students in Year 10/Grade 9 (14-15 years old) to spend a year immersed in Chinese culture and language, while continuing their education in English within the framework of the internationally recognized IB Middle Years Program (IBMYP).

Hangzhou CIS is located on the campus of our partner school, Greentown Yuhua School (GYS), a leading private school in Zhejiang province. Sharing a campus with Chinese peers provides Hangzhou CIS students with a range of opportunities for exchange and friendship.

Students step out of their familiar school world into a residential and academic setting that demands that they question and articulate for themselves such concepts as "foreign", "home" and "self". Through this exciting journey, students gain valuable exposure, confidence and maturity while building profound relationships with peers and mentors.

Hangzhou CIS has been crafted to be an intensive year-long journey of discovery. The program is built on the four pillars of China, Challenge, Character and Communities.
