Vision, Mission and Values

The Culture of our School 

The Canadian International School (CIS) offers students an opportunity to develop through a diverse and challenging curriculum and a wide range of activities. Students are given ownership of the learning process and are encouraged to actively participate in their own education by setting personal goals and practicing on-going self-evaluation. Our inquiry based programmes and activities encourage students to discover their interests and strengths. All of this is done in a safe, caring and supportive school environment that fosters positive attitudes and allows students to challenge themselves and be risk-takers, without the fear of being judged.

Our Mission

Engage. Enlighten. Empower. 

Our Vision

The Canadian International School in Singapore is a dynamic, caring and safe learning environment. Our school community celebrates its internationalism. With our challenging, well-rounded curriculum and our dedicated teachers and staff, we strive to develop the whole child. Students enjoy learning by making meaningful connections between the classroom and the world at large. CIS prepares students to be successful, well-balanced and responsible global citizens. 

Our Core Values

Values should be more than inspiring or beautiful words. Our values are a behavioural blueprint that shape who we are as a school community and as individuals. In all that we do, we ask ourselves – does this promote what we value most?

Respect: We respect ourselves and respect others for their special talents, skills and contributions. 

Commitment: We keep our promises and will fulfil all our commitments.

Integrity: We believe that integrity is the heart of all lasting relationships and endeavours, and will work with each other in good faith.

Collaboration: We will cooperate with each other, learn and have fun together to achieve things which are of significance.

Responsibility: We take pride in all that we do and are accountable for our actions.
