Benefits of Investing in an International Education for Your Child
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. The expectations are high on what international schools have to offer – top-notch facilities, world-class infrastructure, an internationally focused curriculum, and a multicultural faculty are some of the requirements that top the list.
Canadian International School (CIS), is a school that has a rich heritage of 22 years for promoting an international education in Bangalore. Established in 1996, we offer an international environment and have adopted an international curriculum; the Cambridge Curriculum for Kindergarten to grade 10 and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) for grades 11 and 12. Here’s an insight into the facilities we offer and how your investment in an international curriculum at CIS can give your child an added advantage.
The world has evolved, yet most schools still abide by traditional approaches. CIS, a privately owned school, costs around INR 7 lakhs annually. However, we look at CIS not only as an institution that strives to teach a cutting-edge curriculum but moreover, as an institution that imparts education that will stay with your child for life. Our curriculum caters to help students endure on the international stage and prepares them for an ever-changing global scenario. The benefits of an international education at CIS far outweigh the required investment both monetarily and the effort put forth.
The CIS community consists of students and faculty from over 40 different nationalities. The environment is truly multicultural and our students are taught tolerance, open-mindedness, and the ability to forge global connections from a young age. We promote a truly international environment at the school and celebrate multiple festivals such as the Japanese Children’s Day, Korean New Year, and Diwali along with the entire CIS community. Students at CIS also learn bilingually, English being the primary language with options of Spanish, French, Hindi, English (ESL/EAL), or a mother tongue language.
Investing in an international education at CIS opens doors to an education abroad and drastically ups the ante for placements in top universities across the world. Our students have procured admissions into universities such as John Hopkins, NYU, Brown University, Colombia University, and Cornell University. Students also benefit from a learning environment embedded within a 14-acre campus with world-class infrastructure. CIS is situated in Yelahanka, away from the hustle and bustle of the urban landscape, and is fully equipped with an artificial soccer turf, two basketball courts, two tennis courts, boarding facilities, and a swimming pool. Apart from that, we have a 500-seater auditorium called the Odeum that is dedicated towards encouraging students to participate in the performing arts. CIS is also a green campus and is fully solar powered. Any additional energy generated is donated to villages in rural Bangalore.
As India’s 1st Apple Distinguished School, we are recognized for a strong digital citizenship curriculum and the implementation of technology in classrooms from Kindergarten to grade 12. The efforts to spearhead technology integration in education ensures that our students are technologically literate regardless of their career paths. Being a 1:1 iPad school, our curriculum uses the tool for its ability to extend the teaching and learning in our classrooms. Apart from that, we at CIS also prepare our students for transition into a digital world, from using iMovie to make documentaries, to customizing the pace for individual students when learning a foreign language.
CIS believes in fully focusing on implementing an education that breaks out of the four walls of the classroom. Contextual Learning (CL) is a unique program that takes place away from the classroom. It provides a live education opportunity for our Middle Schoolers to explore global and local issues as they search for solutions, meet new people, discover new places, and discuss ideas they would otherwise not be exposed to. Another program unique to CIS is the Experiential Learning Program. Our Elementary curriculum integrates this program to help students learn through reflection from doing hands-on activities on various topics.
Canadian International School (CIS) offers unmatched possibilities for students to grow and become educated, intellectual citizens of the future. Reflecting on the value for money for an investment of INR 7 lakhs is a straightforward calculation. Our facilities are top notch, the teaching staff are among the best, and our infrastructure is world-class. Undoubtedly, those that attend benefit from this one-of-a-kind education for the rest of their lives.
