Apart from acquiring a strong academic background, we want all our students to become exceptionally well rounded individuals with a high emotional quotient. For this we have four cornerstones which are woven into the very fabric of our school curriculum and form the foundation of our educational programs.
- World Citizenship – Empowering students with a global and local perspective. Students at CIS learn about the world and the people in it from an early age, developing an awareness of different cultures and countries.
- Leadership Qualities – Developing each student’s individuality and discovering potential. Our educational programs encourage students to explore and question, to seek solutions, make informed decisions and solve problems.
- Universal Values – Accepting that we are all different, yet recognizing that we are all the same. A variety of activities and experiences based on the understanding of universal values teaches students to make positive contributions to others, their school and community.
- Forward Thinking – Developing skills for the future. Our educational program and curriculum helps students become flexible thinkers who are able to question existing thinking adapt and creatively meet the demand of the future.
