Canadian International School

The Canadian International School (CIS) in Abu Dhabi is dedicated to fostering a rich and engaging educational environment for expatriate students aged 4 to 18. Situated in the vibrant Khalifa A City, the school is designed to meet the diverse needs of an international community, promoting a culture of inclusivity and holistic development. With a current enrollment of around 970 students, CIS aims to equip its learners with the skills, knowledge, and attitudes essential to thrive in a rapidly changing global society.

At the heart of CIS's educational philosophy is the Alberta Program of Study, which emphasizes Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL). This innovative approach encourages students to take an active role in their education through problem-solving and real-world applications across subjects such as Math, Science, and the Arts. With an average class size of 25, educators at CIS are able to foster meaningful relationships with their students, allowing them to engage deeply with the material and discover their unique learning styles. Parents can expect a collaborative and nurturing environment that promotes not only academic excellence but also a sense of security and community for their children as they navigate their educational journeys.
