We often point to the achievements of CIS alumni – an extraordinary group of bridge builders, entrepreneurs and public servants. For many, their life’s work can be traced back to strong roots here at CIS. Their stories can be linked to teachers who encouraged them, peers who applauded them, failures from which they rebounded and endless opportunities presented to them here at school. Our commitment to communication, leadership, information technology and international awareness ensures that all our students are well equipped to succeed in an increasingly pluralist, complex and competitive adult world. The Twenty First Century makes ever-greater demands for the qualities and values instilled by an education at CIS. The academic program at CIS fosters excellence in all disciplines. Faculty members guide students in mastering skills, acquiring knowledge, and thinking critically, creatively and independently. The school strives to help young people achieve their potential not only intellectually, but also artistically, athletically, and morally, so that they may lead responsible and fulfilling lives. Academic excellence is expressed in our unusually broad and deep curriculum. Teachers meet students where they are, then push them further than they ever thought possible.
