The award of CIS International Accreditation demonstrates that:

    • The school keeps its promises.
    • The school is devoted to its mission. It cares enough about what it does to seek validation by a recognized accreditation authority.
    • It is committed to promote the development of internationalism and interculturalism as a means to develop a global citizenship.
    • The school accepts objective assessment. It is prepared to open its doors periodically to regularevaluation by the school community and by outside experienced evaluators.
    • The school is constantly seeking to improve its performance in curricular and other areas.
    • The school plans for the future. As part of the on-going nature of the evaluation process, accredited schools are continually planning future development.

The accreditation has value for all members of the educational community.

 

Both the school, composed of committed professionals, and parents, naturally seek a quality education for their children.

Having international standards gives foreign parents confidence in the educational level offered by the school and the continuity of their children’s development. To national parents, it offers a broader horizon in the education options for their children.
