Canadian International School (CIS) is a top school in Bangalore with students and faculty members from over 40 nationalities.

Technology is everywhere, it is intertwined with our day to day lives and it affects how we work, live, and function today. The future is unequivocally more technologically oriented and it has become vital to equip our students to be smart, digital citizens by the time they graduate from school.

Boarding at Canadian International School, Bangalore provides the right kind of balance for students.  This video was created by our boarding students to give you a glimpse of life from a student’s perspective.

Testing in schools is perceived as an important measure of student learning and achievements. Testing can provide an objective way to compare student understanding, find learning gaps, and mark growth over time. But testing results can also be misrepresented student learning, be skewed both by performance and by marking bias, and in how results are interpreted. 

Time is not the only issue nor the volume of the content. However, the core issue is memory. Whether you need to prepare for an exam, learn a new language, or if you want to stay mentally active, improving your memory is easier than it sounds. Memory is the process by which information and data are encoded, stored, and retrieved.

As a parent, choosing the right education system for your child is one of the most important decisions you can make. With a multitude of options available, it can be overwhelming to decide which one is the best fit for your child's needs. One option that has gained popularity in recent years is the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme.

Our school library is an imperative part of our school structure. Libraries and librarians facilitate the work of teachers by ensuring that each student has equitable access to resources, irrespective of home opportunities.

As a parent, it is natural to try and provide your child with the best possible options to enable them to become intellectual, independent, and responsible adults. Considering that we live in an ever-changing global scenario, parents now prefer access to an international curriculum in their home country without having to send their children to boarding schools overseas at a young age.

Cancer is a disease that affects us all, making it important for us to band together and pledge our support to the Terry Fox Run – a non-competitive family event to help raise awareness and funds for cancer research awareness.

There is now substantial evidence proving that student-athletes perform better academically than non-student-athletes. It is no longer a question of “if”, but more a question of “why”. So, why do student-athletes perform better academically? 

It is unfortunate that these two critical aspects of education, academics and athletics, tend to be pitted against each other than realized for what they are – pillars that work together to create the moral fibre of today’s youth. 

The Elementary school at Canadian International School (CIS) provides students with a collaborative and purposeful learning environment that supports independent learning through active involvement and engagement in their own learning process.

Canadian International School (CIS), one of the top international boarding schools in India offers a unique experience for students who live on campus. Here’s a look at the facilities we offer and the structure we follow.

Celebrations keep us happy and help us bond with those we share the positive experience with. With us having to stay away from each other, and promises or hopes that next year we’ll have a bigger party.

Terry Fox Started in 1980 by Terry Fox, the Terry Fox Run also known as the Marathon of Hope has helped raise awareness and nearly $715 million for cancer research. Today, the run has become synonymous with finding a ray of hope and passing it on, and 37 years on, the tradition still runs strong.

At CIS, we offer IB and IGCSE scholarships for deserving students, and while some operate on the premise that scholarships are primarily for students who are in dire need of financial assistance, the CIS scholarship is beneficial to any student for years following their receipt of the award.

Learning predominantly happens in the stimulating environment they are in through their active involvement and engagement that includes observation, listening, responding, exploring, asking questions, experimenting and doing things that stimulate all the senses.

All our IB students must complete and document their CAS program efforts from the start of IB1 throughout the IB2. The program includes documented evidence of participation in various experiences and at least one CAS project with a reasonable balance between creativity, activity, and service.

Kindergarten or Pre-School at Canadian International School (CIS) is a program specifically designed to help children from the ages of 3 to 6 to improve their existing skills and develop new ones. This includes Pre-Kindergarten (3 year olds), Junior Kindergarten (4 year olds), and Senior Kindergarten (5 year olds).

Students that are part of the MUN club at CIS engage in an authentic simulation of the United Nations by learning about the system, the skills of debate, compromise, conflict resolution, and negotiation. MUN team members also have fun learning about the workings of world diplomacy through the lens of current world events!

Kindergarten or Pre-school is a specialized educational program that utilizes play to help children between the ages of 3 to 6 develop mentally, physically, and socially. Kindergarten at Canadian International School (CIS), the best preschool in Bangalore, is a nurturing environment for young children, helping them transition from home to a school environment.

Students today face challenges and pressures that need additional support from when we were young and growing up.  More and more, schools need to be equipped to assist students of all ages to cope better with the challenges of schools, transitioning from childhood to young adulthood, social media and so many other distractors in today’s world.

Technology has become part of the educational process, but is rarely integrated into a student’s learning experience. Integrating technology into a classroom means more than simply teaching basic computer skills and software programs.

CIS has excellent facilities that boarding students can use. Soccer is the most popular sport and the boarding students practice frequently in the mornings. Students also have access to a gym, pool, basketball, badminton court, and tennis court.

It is always important to participate in regular exercise. During pandemics like Covid-19, it may be even more important. It does not have to be vigorous and it doesn’t even have to be daily (though the latter does help), but regular exercise could be the difference in your immune system’s ability to fight off or effectively recover from Covid-19 or other illnesses.

Students learn to advocate for their ideas and themselves, take risks in attempting to do new things, and learning and growing from one’s mistakes. In fact, our students and teachers embrace the mistakes they make as pathways to learning and growth.

India has one of the most acute shortages of blood supplies globally. To help address this grave healthcare challenge, four students from Canadian International School, Bengaluru, have kickstarted the Red Wave Initiative.

In an ever-changing world, it is imperative to equip students with continued experiences to be citizens of a global future. These experiences come from an education model that includes diverse narratives, qualities, and viewpoints, which facilitates an understanding of social pluralism.

To discuss the topic of hope, would not mean we neglect our anxiety, but to make a choice to proactively think about how to make it through the future and to expand from mere optimism. When it comes to our children, let us look at hope as a learnable, measurable skill. This outlook can help us support them in finding success regardless of the situation.

It’s hard to believe that in 2021, we are still discussing how women today continue to struggle against inequality at a global scale.  To think that as we are about to celebrate International Women’s Day, 2021, millions of girl children are still not allowed to attend school, thousands of young women are forced into marriage or labor at an early age, and the list goes on.  

Similar to happiness, purpose is not a destination, but a journey and practice. Purpose is an ongoing process that we create, and not something we seek. It is something we find within ourselves, recognize and cultivate rather than wait for it to come our way.

Sometimes we try to fill up the void with things so that we do not have to ‘take rest’. Rest sometimes activates voices that tell us that we are being lazy, we haven’t done enough or that it is not allowed. The disruption that the situation has brought upon us has at some level directed us into a place of discomfort.

The Terry Fox Run in Bangalore is hosted at Canadian International School (CIS), one of the top schools in Bangalore. 100% of the funds raised through the run go towards research that can help find a cure for cancer.

With the creation of BAASC, CIS now has the opportunity to begin the process of joining a core division of FOBISIA.

Multicultural classrooms are classrooms that embrace diversity and incorporate ideas, beliefs, or people from different countries and cultural backgrounds. Several cultural perspectives are put together to enable students to get a truly international education.
