Welcome

Having been at CIS (Children’s International School) for several years, I can say with confidence that this is a very special place. Our students receive a breadth and quality of education that imbues them with academic understanding, independence of thought, confidence, and a sense of social responsibility. These qualities enable them to flourish alongside their global peers in an ever-changing and increasingly challenging world.

We teach our students the importance of our school values: excellence, nurturing, passion, integrity, respect, and empathy. Everything we achieve in school stems from these core values, known to our students as ENPIRE.

When you first visit CIS, you will immediately notice our spacious, well-resourced, and modern campus. Whether your child is joining our Junior, Senior, or Sixth Form sections, they will be welcomed into a school designed to support and nurture every pupil, regardless of their talents.

We are recognised as a school where every student has the opportunity to reach their full academic potential. This begins in the formative years within the Junior School, where the foundations for future success are laid, and continues into Secondary, where our outstanding results have enabled CIS alumni to progress to some of the most highly regarded international Sixth Forms and universities in the world. We achieve this by setting high expectations for all our students and fostering stimulating learning environments. Our dedicated, caring, and talented teachers provide bespoke education, ensuring that each child makes sustained progress throughout their time with us.

At CIS, we understand that education extends well beyond the traditional confines of the classroom. The holistic development of every child is interwoven into each experience they have. Soft skills such as resilience, leadership, teamwork, and social and moral responsibility are nurtured from an early age, as these are essential attributes for raising happy, high-achieving children. As students grow older, their academic achievements will open new doors of opportunity, but they will also be equipped with the skills necessary to thrive in new environments.

CIS has a vibrant extracurricular life, offering a broad range of activities to ensure that every pupil can explore their talents and interests. Whether on stage, on the playing field, in the swimming pool, or in the classroom, students have countless opportunities to expand their horizons.

We are a school for both day and boarding students, with boarding available from Year 6. Our boarders benefit from living in a modern boarding house that truly delivers on our aim to provide a “home away from home.” It is a secure, comfortable, and nurturing environment where young people learn, relax, and build lifelong friendships. If you have not yet considered boarding for your child, we encourage you to contact us to learn more about boarding life at CIS.

The decision to invest in a child’s education is one of the most significant choices any family will make, and it understandably requires time and careful consideration. I am confident that the information on this website will be helpful to you. However, to truly appreciate what CIS has to offer, I encourage all parents who can to visit us in person. I look forward to meeting you then. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me or my team to learn more about life at CIS.
