Enrollment is now open at CDIS!

Chengdu International School, founded in 1997, is the first international school in Chengdu. We are proud to be part of the LifePlus family. LifePlus Worldwide Learning has decades of experience in international education, connecting us with schools, educators, and experts throughout China and across the globe.

World-Class Future Leaders
Our school is accredited by Cognia, one of the world's leading accrediting agencies. This recognition reflects the high standards we uphold in our academic programs, which serve students from ages 3 to 12th grade. Our students are connected to a global network of individuals, knowledge, and support. We offer not only excellence in the classroom but also a well-rounded educational environment that truly develops world-class future leaders.

Individualized Learning Environment
We provide a personalized, international learning environment, featuring small class sizes and a fully English-immersion program. Our students come from over 20 nationalities, creating a truly diverse global setting. Our dedicated teaching staff comprises experienced foreign teachers committed to providing students with a high-quality educational experience in a Western classroom setting.

Community
We are more than just a school; we are a vibrant community. Our warm and inclusive school culture is cherished by families, even long after they leave Chengdu. We are dedicated to equipping our students with the skills they need to succeed, not only in the classroom but also in life. This commitment is also reflected in our strong staff culture and long-serving faculty. Many of our teachers have been with us for over a decade, which is quite rare for a large international school.

Career and University Planning
Our school has a strong history of graduates being admitted to top universities around the world. We provide comprehensive support for our students through a full-time college and career counselor and a specialized Korean university counselor. These counselors guide students throughout their high school years, assisting them with each step of the university application process. By creating personalized plans for each student, they ensure that CDIS students are well-positioned to achieve their goals.

What sets our school apart from other international schools?
We prioritize holistic education, focusing on each child's emotional and social well-being in addition to their academic success. We also emphasize individualized care tailored to each child's unique needs. Our students will be future industry leaders, and it's our job to help them reach that potential by preparing them to navigate all aspects of life when they leave CDIS. We prepare students to face the challenges of not only the university classroom but also the workplace and life in an ever-changing world.
