Early Childhood

 CIS is committed to providing a caring, nurturing environment that assists children in developing the confidence and skills necessary to become independent learners. CIS’ ECE facilities are designed to actively engage children in activities that explore science, language, mathematics, art, drama, music, and physical activity in a purposeful and playful way.

Elementary

Class teachers cover the core subject areas of English, Math, Science, and Social Studies. In addition to increasing students’ self-confidence and rapport with their teacher, one of the major benefits of having a class teacher is to facilitate the IBL approach. By spending more time with one group of students, the class teacher knows their strengths and weaknesses and can build on their knowledge base more easily as they incorporate cross-curricular objectives.

Secondary

Program of studies for each subject area sets out general outcomes or topics that provide an overview of the important learnings students accomplish.
