Academics 

Our students are courageously connected and driven by teachers who are unwavering in their dedication to provide distinctive instruction while nurturing forward thinking and creativity. Our premier academic program produces graduates who are not only educationally sound but astute problem solvers for the world we live in.
CIS teachers focus on reading, writing, and lively discussion around classroom topics. The CIS curriculum includes the study of English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, international and environmental studies, visual and performing arts, computer technology, healthful living/physical education, and Spanish. 
CIS is committed to keeping your child’s natural curiosity alive and cultivating it by offering a well-designed, rigorous academic and arts program. CIS students learn leadership skills in a variety of settings while they master multiple technology platforms that will prepare them to lead in diverse working environments, both traditional and non-traditional. Students learn emotional intelligence and global responsibility while engaging in a fun yet challenging educational atmosphere.
The heartbeat of our educational approach is character education based on our core values: Respect. Responsibility. Solutions. Service.
