What is “Accreditation”?

Accreditation means official approval in order to maintain satisfactory standards. CIS accreditation means that our schools have achieved high standards of professional performance in international education and have a commitment to continuous improvement. The quality and rigor of CIS International Accreditation is recognized by ministries, departments of education, and universities around the world as demonstration of a school’s commitment to high quality international education and as a mark of quality assurance.

What is the purpose of the Accreditation?

• To ensure that the school seeks excellence in all stages of education;

• To ensure that the school offers a high quality education and curriculum in line with clearly defined targets and standards;

• To enable the school community to discover its strengths and weaknesses for its continuous development.

Our goal is to provide our students with the knowledge and skills necessary to lead their lives as global citizens and achieve high-quality international education standards. As CIS accredited schools, we follow the CIS code of ethics by:

• Fulfilling the promises stated in our guiding statements, policies, contracts and promotional materials;
