Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

At the Canadian International School Singapore (CIS), we believe that education is at its best when every individual feels respected, supported, and valued. Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion shapes the way we build relationships, design learning experiences, and nurture our vibrant international school community.

Our beliefs

We are committed to respecting the dignity of every person while fostering a diverse community that promotes a sense of belonging for all. We understand that equitable and transparent practices are essential for building trust, connection, and justice, all of which are vital for cultivating a united community.

Our promise

We are dedicated to making sure that every member of our community feels seen, heard, and valued.

What does this mean in practice

By fostering collaboration, connection, and engagement, we aim to strengthen our community, ensuring that everyone - students, staff, and parents - feels supported, valued, empowered, comfortable, and challenged. We seek to create opportunities for positive connections.

Through a commitment to continuous growth and reflection, we strive to cultivate empathy and enhance inclusivity, even in uncomfortable moments. We will promote and uphold respectful, open conversations at all levels and at all times.
