CIS conducts evaluations for all applicants to assess their readiness and suitability for our programs.

Our evaluation process includes: - Entrance Examination: Resident applicants attend an in-person exam at CIS, while non-resident applicants may undergo a document review and online interview if unable to attend in person. - Assessment Criteria: Evaluations consider age requirements, placement test results, previous academic experience, admissions interviews, and English language proficiency.

Admission is competitive, and spaces are limited. Qualified applicants may be placed on a waiting list if classes are full.

The application deadline for the upcoming academic year is March 28th.

CIS primarily enrolls new students at the beginning of the academic year. However, mid-year admissions may be considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on available space and the student's qualifications.

CIS offers after-school programs that extend learning beyond regular hours, providing supervised care and enrichment activities.

We provide a safe and reliable bus service for student transportation, utilizing modern safety protocols and eco-friendly vehicles.

CIS maintains small class sizes to ensure personalized attention, with a maximum of 20 students per classroom.

On average, each classroom accommodates around 15 students, fostering an intimate and effective learning atmosphere.
