The CIS community, in their own words — what families and educators say about our school.
Feedback from parents across our school community.
"Choosing CIS was the best decision we made for our children. The Canadian curriculum challenges them, and the teachers truly care about each child as an individual."
"My daughter started KG1 shy and speaking little English. A year later she reads, writes and sings in English every day. The early-years team is wonderful."
"The communication with parents is excellent. We always know how our son is progressing and what is coming up. We feel like real partners in his education."
"What I value most is the balance — high academic standards together with kindness and strong values. My children are happy to go to school every morning."
"As a family new to Djibouti, CIS welcomed us warmly. The multicultural community meant our son made friends from many countries within his first week."
"The facilities are modern and the classrooms are bright and full of learning. But it is the caring teachers that make the real difference for our daughter."
What it's like to teach and grow at CIS.
"Teaching at CIS is a joy. The students are curious and motivated, and the leadership genuinely supports us to bring our best into the classroom every day."
"The Canadian curriculum gives us the freedom to teach creatively while keeping high standards. Watching a shy student grow into a confident learner is why I do this."
"What makes CIS special is the community. Teachers, families and students work together, and there is a real sense that everyone is invested in each child's success."
