Chinese International School — CIS — occupies the Braemar Hill campus above North Point and is Hong Kong's flagship bilingual English-Mandarin international school, with a dual-language primary years programme feeding into the IB Diploma. This profile gathers CIS's 2026 IB results as publicly reported, and how we support CIS students. For the full territory picture, see our Hong Kong IB results 2026 compilation.

CIS's 2026 IB results

CIS's Class of 2026 continued the school's run of strong Diploma results:

Measure	CIS 2026	Hong Kong overall
Average Diploma score	38.9	37.02
Students scoring 40+	49%	34.8%
IB cohort size	107	2,912 candidates

Two readings stand out. First, nearly half the cohort reached 40 points — the range associated with Oxbridge and the most selective US offers. Second, CIS's bilingual programme means many of its students graduate with the IB Bilingual Diploma, a genuine differentiator in applications that value evidence of bicultural academic depth.

What the CIS setup means for university planning

CIS students apply globally, and the school's calendar aligns with Northern Hemisphere admissions: UCAS in mid-October for Oxbridge hopefuls, US early rounds in November, main deadlines in January. The bilingual diploma strengthens applications everywhere, but families should plan subject selection early — HL choices made in the first Diploma year determine which university courses remain open in the second.

University pathways from CIS

CIS graduates spread across the UK, the US, Canada and Hong Kong in roughly even measure — a genuinely multi-region pattern. Quantum Prep has worked with CIS students across all of these systems, from IB support to application strategy; our 2026 offers data story shows the destinations our wider cohort reached this year.
