The Canadian International School (CIS) is an international school in Singapore. Opened in 1989 as the Canadian Overseas College (COC) in Toh Tuck, it started out as a university preparatory day school for grades 9 to 13 under the Ontario Academic Credit (OAC) system. Although it initially had not many students, the student population quickly grew in 1992 due to a spillover from other international schools in Singapore. In August of that year, it expanded to include grades 7 and 8, with its name changed to the Canadian International School a month. In March 1993, it expanded its programme to include kindergarten to grade 6.
In August 2001, CIS opened a new campus in Bukit Tinggi, Bukit Timah, and moved its grade 9-12 students there as well as their grade 7-8 students two years later. In August 2006, the grade 9-12 students were moved to a new campus in Kampong Bahru whilst the grade 4-6 students moved to the Bukit Tinggi campus. In 2008, it opened a new campus in Tanjong Katong. In March 2012, a new campus was opened in Lakeside. In October 2011, the Toh Tuck campus closed down. In June 2023, the TK campus was closed down as well.
CIS operates under the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary (IB PYP), Middle Years (IB MYP), and Diploma (IB DP) programs. The school accepts students from Nursery to Grade 12.
