Founder's Message

When we established CIS Djibouti, our vision was clear: to provide children in Djibouti with access to a high-quality Canadian education that prepares them for success in an increasingly connected world.

We believe education is about more than academic achievement. It is about developing character, confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong desire to learn. Every child has unique abilities and potential, and our responsibility is to provide the guidance, opportunities, and supportive environment needed for that potential to flourish.

At CIS Djibouti, we combine high academic standards with a safe, inclusive, and multicultural learning environment. Our students are encouraged to think critically, communicate effectively, embrace innovation, and act with integrity and respect. Through our Canadian curriculum, multilingual learning opportunities, modern facilities, and dedicated educators, we prepare students not only for university but also for responsible leadership in their communities and beyond.

Our commitment extends from the earliest years of Kindergarten through Grade 12. At every stage, we work closely with families because we believe that a strong partnership between the school and parents is essential to every student's success.

As Founder, I am proud of the community we are building and grateful to the parents who have entrusted us with their children's education. Together, we are creating a school where students feel valued, challenged, inspired, and prepared to pursue opportunities anywhere in the world.

Thank you for choosing Canadian International School Djibouti. We look forward to welcoming you to our community and continuing our mission of empowering tomorrow's global leaders, today.

With warm regards,
Abdourahman Ahmed
Founder, Canadian International School Djibouti
