Academics
In our diverse community, we foster an engaging, inquiry-based culture that cultivates critical thinking, cultural competence, creativity and collaboration, empowering all individuals to become responsible, compassionate, lifelong learners who contribute to positive change.
HIGH-QUALITY TEACHING AND LEARNING
At CIS, high-quality teaching occurs when the teacher’s ongoing analysis of the context, and the teacher’s decisions about which pedagogical knowledge and abilities to apply, result in optimum learning for all students. High-quality learning occurs when students actively construct meaning through inquiry, reflection and making authentic connections. By applying their skills, knowledge, and attitudes, students are empowered to take charge of their learning, and actualize their individual potential as global citizens.
GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP
At CIS, a global citizen is someone who understands and appreciates diverse perspectives while actively engaging with local and global issues, interacting respectfully with others, and taking responsible action for sustainability and collective well-being.
