Collegiate International School is an American International School with a US curriculum delivered through the world-class international pedagogies of the IB, leading to a range of graduation pathways that facilitate personalised learning and success from Pre-Kindergarten to graduation in Grade 12. While CIS already has a highly rated International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) for Grades 11-12, we are also authorised with the full IB Continuum of study, which includes delivering the Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) for Grades KG-5 and the Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) for Grades 6-8. In Grades 9&10, we provide a structured curriculum based upon the New York Next Generation State Standards, fully preparing students for the US High School Diploma or IB DP study in Grade 11 &12.
Collegiate International School (CIS) places a strong emphasis on the academic success of each individual, preparing students to obtain significant academic growth, entrance into quality universities, and beyond this as positive contributing citizens of an increasingly global society. Our community atmosphere, caring, nurturing, and dedicated teachers, supportive parents, and the students themselves, are responsible for CIS' success.
Our high school students can select from a range of curriculum pathways that allow students to design a graduation route which plays to their individual strengths. Some opt to follow the US High School Diploma track for graduation. This pathway will maximise the opportunities for students of all abilities to achieve a suitable and appropriate university/college choice. For higher performing students following the US High School Diploma track, CIS offers a variety of Advance Placement courses to supplement their Diploma. Alternatively, they can also select individual IB DP subjects, with the highest performing students completing the full IB Diploma Programme.
Collegiate International School provides a framework to prepare students for the rigour of universities and future careers. These include high standards in instruction, and a specialised focus on young leadership.
The school maintains the vision of “providing a world class education” and their personal commitment of ‘students first’, supported by the leadership’s open-door policy for all stakeholders.
