STRATEGIC PLAN
With the CIS Advisory Board, the Board of Directors, and the Leadership Team, CIS has created the following strategic initiatives in November, 2019. The five initiatives will continue to inform our emphasis and direction as we move into a future with incredible possibilities and challenges. These directions are reviewed annually with input from our Advisory Board and a five-year re-evaluation will occur in 2024. These directions listed below are not listed in order of priority but all equally important to our community.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE
School Culture
The CIS School Culture is anchored by moral and ethical leadership that seeks the development of all its community members through the promotion of student and adult agency in one’s own learning.
Beyond CIS-Students and Learning
CIS recognizes that the real and virtual worlds are rich learning environments that students need to explore and be a part of. Our experiential programs is vital to connect students to real world issues and use of virtual learning, resources, and classrooms is an integral part to contemporary learning
Beyond the Present
CIS understands that we need to be adaptive and change to meet the needs, demands and innovation that arise every day. Learning is a continuum that includes more and more resources, particularly from virtual or AI opportunities, and we will continue to adapt our learning environments and platforms to be responsive to the needs of our students in an ever changing world.
Sustained Growth
CIS continues to develop the campus, programs and resources to meet learning needs for our students on campus. As we connect more and more with other learning communities around the world, we continue to adapt our campus and online learning approaches to best meet the needs of our students; and we understand that to continue to grow we need to look beyond our physical campus to provide learning opportunities for those who cannot access our grounds.
Global Recognition
CIS believes in a dynamic participation in the world to understand global issues and for others to understand how we as a community address these global issues. This requires an awareness on the part of all community members of relevant global issues, and active, visible participation in addressing global issues beyond our campus; this will contribute to CIS being recognized as a hub of learning locally, regionally and globally.
