Admission / For Prospective students
Application Guidelines
The application process ensures that students can access the curriculum and achieve the desired skill levels at each grade level. English is the language of instruction at CIS and is also the language for communicating with parents. At least one parent or guardian must communicate comfortably with school teachers and staff in English. In addition, parents must be able to access electronic communications from the school consistently.
Students applying for CIS are admitted through a screening process. Admission to the kindergarten is decided through a family and applicant interview by an administrator. Access to the Elementary, junior, and high school is achieved upon sitting the MAP Test (English and Mathematics) and a short essay written in English in addition to a family interview conducted by a school administrator.
