Core Competencies

At CIS, we promote 8 core competencies for students to be successful at school, at work and in life. But how do we do that? These core competencies are developed and applied through subject content and learning experiences that are designed around the Alberta Curriculum and IB PYP framework, its learning outcomes and our philosophy of holistic education.

WeCare

In CIS, #WeCare is more than just an initiative, it is part of our curriculum and framework. By integrating WeCare into our teaching and learning, we cultivate a culture that empowers students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. This commitment prepares them to excel in their studies and grow into responsible and compassionate global citizens, ready to make a positive impact on the world.
