There are three streams: a Nursery-Grade 12 international stream, an English medium program with Canadian curriculum; the grades 1-9 International-Chinese stream with a mix of Canadian and Chinese curriculum; and the Nursery-Grade 12 Chinese stream, a Chinese-medium program using a Chinese curriculum.

Originally the Canadian International School of Sanya (CIS; 三亚加拿大国际学校), it was Sanya's first ever international school, opening in September 2014. It previously occupied four buildings in a 33,000-square-metre (360,000 sq ft) campus in the Chunguang (春光, "Spring Light") neighborhood. It opened during an effort by the Hainan government to attract more foreign tourists and residents.
