The Council of International Schools (CIS) provide a uniform
approach to the evaluation of international schools. It aims to provide
an effective global system of accreditation which:
- fosters excellence in all stages and aspects of school-based education
- encourages school improvement through a process of continuous self-study and peer evaluation
- assures a school, and the community it serves, that an accredited institution provides a quality education programme for students based upon a clearly defined philosophy and objectives that are appropriate for the school's unique population
Accreditation by C.I.S provides prospective parents with an assurance
that the school has been systematically assessed, and is of a high
standard.
In 2003 inspectors from The Council of International Schools visited
the school. They assessed the International Section in a host of areas
listed below. Curriculum and its Implementation

Prior to their visit the International Section conducted a thorough self-evaluation of its procedures and practices. The International Section was awarded Accredited Status. The award was presented at the ECIS conference in Dublin on the 15th April 2004. As a member of C.I.S, we will be continually monitored to ensure our standards remain high.
We are currently preparing another report in advance of a CIS visit, expected sometime in May 2008.
