On March 13th, 2009, the Canadian International School (CIS) was officially established
as the first international school in Vietnam to offer a Canadian curriculum. The
schools founders chose the Ontario Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 Curriculum for its
emphasis on character education.
The 2009-2010 school year began at the temporary campus on the ground floor of the
Panorama Condominium in Phu My Hung with 165 students.
The CIS journey was launched with the cooperation of the District School Board of
Niagara (DSBN). DSBN provided advice about pedagogy and curriculum as well as solutions
for managing schools according to Ontario public schools in Niagara. DSBN supported CIS
to recruit Ontario certified teachers, to recommend learning resources and to provide
professional learning opportunities. DSBN also conducted annual inspections of the CIS
program as part of a commitment to continuous improvement. Students were given the
choice to finish Grade 12 at CIS in Vietnam or at an Ontario secondary school.
