Republic Act 9190
Granted in February 2003, this act grants CIS the right to exist as an educational institution, international in character.

Thus, CIS is able to devise its own curriculum, operate the school and employ its Administration and faculty according to generally accepted international school standards.  This legislation gives CIS the ability to ensure its educational program is comparable to all other international schools.

International Baccalaureate
 Cebu International School received authorization to teach the International Baccalaureate programme for the first time in October 1999.  In Grades 11 and 12, the full IB Diploma programme is now offered which allows students graduating from CIS the opportunity to seek entry into the best colleges and universities in over one hundred countries worldwide.

CIS is the only school in Cebu with this authorization and is IB WORLD SCHOOL 1165.

Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC)
 Cebu International School is proud to be accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).  In May 2001, CIS received its second full six-year accreditation having followed WASC's rigorous Focus on Learning process.  All WASC self-study and visiting team reports are available at the School's Library for community review and information.  The visiting team reports are an integral part of the School's long term strategic planning.

WASC accreditation gives credibility to the CIS High School Diploma for graduating students as being equivalent to those awarded in North American and other international schools in the Asia Pacific region.  Student's report cards and transcripts of records, because of the WASC accreditation, are accepted in schools, colleges and universities worldwide.
