2 VISION CIS will provide extraordinary learning opportunities for the globally connected student. A nurturing environment, an international curriculum, and a culturally diverse community will facilitate exceptional achievements. Together we will take action to make the world a better place. MISSION Engage. Enlighten. Empower. VALUES CIS s values are a behavioural blueprint that shape who we are as a school community and as individuals. In all that we do, we ask ourselves does this promote what we value most? Collaboration Curiosity Creativity Generosity Respect Excellence FACULTY Over 60% of staff hold advanced or double degrees. Many CIS faculty are IB trained. While CIS teachers may differ in nationality, background and age, they share a few common qualities. They are well educated, talented, and perhaps most importantly, they inspire their students, and their students inspire them. IB DIPLOMA RESULTS 207 Pass rate 98.5 % CIS Average score.
