Stretching What’s Possible

As a leading IB school and a premier international K–12 school in India, CIS is committed to guiding each student toward a bright future. Our University & Career Guidance program empowers students to explore, achieve, and exceed their goals—starting well before Grade 9.

We don’t just send students to top universities. We help them discover who they are—and who they can become.

  • Grade 9: Student profile building begins: Interests, academic focus, possible career areas, and regions for higher education. Introduction to service learning and extracurricular impact.
  • Grade 10: Deeper career exploration, internship opportunities, and continued profile development. Exploration of subject prerequisites and country-specific requirements.
  • Grade 11–12: Application preparation: Essays, portfolios, recommendation letters, mock interviews, and tailored support for multiple destinations and scholarship applications.
