Student Life
At CIS, we encourage well-rounded development of our students, encompassing academics, co-curricular activities, and extra-curricular activities. While academics sharpen intellectual skills, taking part in activities outside of the classroom teaches invaluable life skills such as teamwork, leadership, respect, self-worth, and commitment.
We recognize the importance of the school as the community center and the important part that co-curricular and extra-curricular activities play in enhancing academic performance AND in developing well-rounded individuals. CIS sponsors both co-curricular and extra-curricular activities and cooperates fully with off campus activities agencies in order to provide those experiences for our students at all levels.
Activities include both individual pursuits and team building activities for students from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Students may choose from a wide variety of activities that can include (but are not limited to) : Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Swimming, TaeKwonDo Club, Mad Science, Art Club, Photography Club, Improv Club, French Club, Band and Choir, Newspaper and Yearbook Club, Experiential Field Trips, School-Wide Celebrations, Student Council, Dramatic Productions, Plus many, many more!
Announcements regarding clubs are generally made through the school’s Daily Announcements, TV Announcements, or made by the teachers themselves at school.
House League
Each child is assigned a house and this house will stay with them throughout their time at CIS. The house is an integrated mix of all students from KG1 through to Grade 12, with all students working together in friendly competition with the other houses. Students can earn points for their house by doing good deeds, being helpful, following directions, or being a good friend.
Our houses are: Scorpions (Green), Caribou (Red), Wildcats (Blue) and Falcons (Yellow). Students can earn points for their house for good behavior such as good attendance or following directions. House points are updated weekly.
