More than academics — the ethos, spirit and character we build in every CIS learner.
At Canadian International School Djibouti, we believe education is about far more than grades. It is about shaping thoughtful, resilient and kind young people who are ready to lead good lives and make a positive difference in the world.
Our character education runs through everything we do — from how teachers greet students in the morning, to how we celebrate effort, resolve conflict, and encourage every child to try again. We call this the character of CIS, and it is what families tell us they feel the moment they walk onto our campus.
The qualities we nurture in every student, at every age.
Curious problem-solvers who question, reason and think for themselves.
Kind and empathetic, showing respect and compassion for others.
Brave learners who embrace challenge and keep going when things get hard.
Confident in expressing ideas across languages and cultures.
Honest, fair and responsible, doing the right thing even when it is difficult.
Open-minded young people who value diversity and care for their world.
