The Canadian International School offers the Alberta Program of Study along with the UAE Ministry of Education. The high quality standards of Alberta Education hold the needs and requirements of international Abu Dhabi students and the regulations of the UAE Ministry of Education. Alberta Education strongly encourages trilingual education and therefore responds to multicultural and multilingual school's requirements.

In Early Childhood Education (ECE), children acquire important skills that respond to social, physical, intellectual, cultural, creative and emotional needs, by exploring their environment through a play-based approach. CIS works to provide a caring, nurturing environment that helps children build the confidence and skills required to become self-sufficient students. The ECE facilities in CIS are intended to actively engage children in activities that are purposeful and playful in their exploration of science, music, language art, drama, mathematics, and physical activity. The design of the classroom provides daylight and warm colors facilitating a positive learning environment. In order to encourage the reading, the KG library offers a comfortable setting for children to explore puppets, stories, books, and their own imaginary world.

The elementary school follows the Alberta Curriculum through an Inquiry-based learning approach. Core subjects at this stage include English, Math, Social Studies and Science.

Students at the Canadian International School engage in a wide range of Physical Education activities which include bowling, kayaking, running off-campus, swimming, dance, basketball, volleyball, Frisbee, softball, gymnastics, running, jumping, athletics and many more.
