Chinese International School (漢基國際學校, pinyin: Hànjī Gúojì Xúexìao) is a private coeducational school, located in Hong Kong, for students in Reception to Year 13 (pre-K to12). A defining characteristic is its bilingual programme taught in English and Chinese (Mandarin). Students come from diverse backgrounds, with over 30 nationalities represented. At the Secondary level, students pursue the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years and Diploma programmes. The campus is located in the residential neighbourhood of Braemar Hill in North Point, adjacent to country park green areas. It is a member of the G20 Schools association.
The school opened in 1983, with an initial intake of approximately 75 students in Years 1 to 3. Its first location was at 7 Eastern Hospital Road in Causeway Bay.
In 1986 and 1989, the school expanded to additional sites at 10 Borrett Road and 26 Kennedy Road. In 1991, the school moved to the current campus on Braemar Hill.
In 2014, the school opened its Hangzhou campus, for year 10 students, where students live and study in Hangzhou for one school year.
The school is overseen by a Board of Governors of approximately fifteen members. The Board has been chaired since 2013 by Douglas Eu, a parent of the school. Dr. Theodore S. Faunce joined the school as Headmaster at the start of the 2006–07 school year.
The school's campus is made up of seven buildings, called "blocks" and connected by open-air walkways. Facilities include:
Students are organized into separate Primary and Secondary "schools" but share the same campus, similar school days and a linked curriculum. The Primary division has approximately 600 students aged 4 to 11 from Reception to Year 6, while the Secondary division has approximately 900 students aged 11 to 18 from Years 7 to 13.
