Chengdu International School


Chengdu International School has been building a solid foundation in education since 1997. We seek to provide an educational experience that integrates the Christian world view with a rigorous academic program. The Chengdu International School is a private school sponsored by LDI, Inc., an American non-profit corporation.
CURRICULUM
The school offers an English-language based Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12 program for expatriate students of all religions, races, and national backgrounds. CDIS offers an American curriculum and system of instruction that is college preparatory in both scope and level of difficulty. Chengdu International School is more than just a school; it is a partnership with parents to provide quality education for young minds.
CDIS has been accredited with the National Association of Private Schools (NAPS). Currently we are seeking accrediation with WASC, an accrediting organization based in Burlingame, California, USA. CDIS is also registered with the National Education Bureau and Chengdu Education Bureau and is a member of the East Asia Regional Council of Schools (EARCOS) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).
STAFF
CDIS staffs the classroom with teachers certified by American standards, usually the teacher's home state. There are over 20 foreign (primarily from the U.S.) teachers and over 20 National Teachers (Chinese) delivering education at CDIS. Current staff and areas of responsibility are listed on the school website:

Books that are lost or damaged must be replaced. An outstanding balance will result in report cards, transcripts, and diplomas being withheld until it is paid.

SCHOOL YEAR AND SCHOOL DAY

The school board may add any days missed due to emergencies or unforeseen circumstances to the end of the school year.
EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
We believe in operating, on Christian principles, an educational program that is open to students irrespective of race, color, or creed (except as prohibited). Our courses of study are intended to equip students for living in contemporary human society.
We believe that CDIS exists to provide academically excellent learning opportunities within a college preparatory course of study. We do not believe that we can meet the schooling needs of all students.
We believe that the responsibility for education rests upon parents. We believe that the school should assist families in helping their children to develop a sense of their own worth and identity as human beings.
We believe that education is the continuing process through which this awareness develops in an individual as he grows in all areas of his life toward his fullest potential.
Since every experience is a part of that process, our responsibility is to provide the opportunity for intellectual, physical, emotional, spiritual and social growth.
The goal is to prepare the student for matriculation to the next higher level of educational endeavor. required in this is the development of higher level thinking skills and awareness of occupational opportunities.
We believe that education should be broad-based, providing student opportunities in basic core subject areas and as many supplementary enrichment areas as feasible. School Summary:
