Governance
Focused on continuous improvement
CIS is a privately owned school governed by a Board of Directors. The Board is composed of educators and business persons. It provides strategic support to ensure the ongoing strength and stability of the school. The Board takes a long-term perspective and protects the educational, financial, child safeguarding, and employment health of CIS. It relies on the Head of School to provide it with reports and proposals for school improvement, including as it relates to learning, well-being, global citizenship, and the school’s culture. The Senior Leadership Team led by the Head of School manages academic programming and the daily operations of CIS.
