WELCOME

FROM

THE

SUPERINTENDENT

I take this opportunity to welcome you to Cebu International School – a school with a long and proud history in the Visayas Region of the Philippines.

The primary aim of the Cebu International School is to provide an international education so that our students can enter universities worldwide. At CIS, we focus on developing well balanced, global citizens who are intelligent, concerned, dynamic, respectful of universal moral values within a multicultural environment, and able to cope responsibly in an ever-changing interdependent world. For more information about our school, please visit the About Us section.

At CIS we focus on two words that underpin what we say, think and do: respect and teamwork. We like to think that Cebu International School ROCS (Respect for Others, Community and Self), and that together we work as a team towards our goals.

I hope you consider either enrolling your son/daughter in our school and if you are a teacher, please consider working in our school. Read on to find out why.

#1 - The fact that Cebu International School is the only school in the Philippines that is accredited with all three organizations of CIS (Council of International Schools), WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) and PAASCU (Philippines Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities) means that we hold a unique position within the spectrum of education offerings in the Philippines. And #2 - we are one of only seven schools in the Philippines that offers the IB Diploma Programme to Grades 11-12 students.

Being the only school in the Philippines that is accredited with all three organizations means that we are unique. Being the only internationally accredited school in Cebu is also a unique feature of CIS.

In addition, The IB Diploma Programme is recognized as the most academically rigorous High School qualification worldwide. It is studied in the best schools worldwide, at Grades 11 and 12, and students emerge from the IB Diploma (or IB Certificate) better prepared for University. Students and teachers worldwide are keen to study/work with the IB Diploma – not just because it is a balanced Grade 11/12 curriculum but because it rewards those who have a strong work ethic, and it is exciting, educational programme to be involved in. It is hard work, but in the long run – it is very rewarding to those who put in the time and effort required.

I hope to see/hear from you soon. Enjoy exploring our website and finding out more about our school – even better, if you visit the beautiful tropical resort destination of Cebu City, take time to visit us in person. Until we meet, regards from
