Students

Valuing every student

At the Canadian International School, we recognise and value each student from Nursery to Grade 12 as an individual. Every personality, perspective, and contribution enriches our school community and helps create an environment where everyone belongs.

Guided by our core values, our students demonstrate:

  • Integrity – acting with honesty and respect.
  • Generosity – contributing positively to others and their communities.
  • Curiosity – questioning, exploring, and striving for excellence.

This mindset encourages every student to challenge themselves academically and personally, building confidence and resilience along the way.

A global community of students

With nearly 3,000 students from over 70 nationalities, CIS is one of the most diverse international schools in Singapore. Working and learning alongside peers from different cultures fosters collaboration, global awareness, and mutual respect.

Our inclusive and supportive environment helps students thrive—whether they are high-achieving intellectuals, talented athletes, gifted artists, or change makers committed to making a difference in the world.

Learning beyond the classroom

At CIS, students are actively engaged in experiences that:

  • Develop a lifelong love of learning.
  • Build future-ready skills in critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.
  • Inspire students to turn ideas into meaningful action.

We believe in celebrating successes while also recognising that challenges are opportunities for growth. This balance helps students build confidence, resilience, and adaptability for the future.

Student highlights

At CIS, students don’t just learn; they lead, create, and inspire. Together, they form a community that values diversity, celebrates individuality, and prepares for a future full of opportunities.
