Out of the 38 graduates in the Class of 2018, 35 have received multiple offers to enter universities around the world, and three chose to take a gap year.
Scholarships were awarded to 15 of these graduates, and these range from 15% to 100% based on merit, academics, sports, financial need and IB Diploma scores. In addition to the 15 who received scholarships, additional grants will be available after final IB exam results.
Congratulations!
The 2018 joint IB Head’s and IB Global Conference was held in Singapore from 25th – 27th March, 2018. The event attracted more than 1700 educators and school leaders to commemorate the IB’s 50 years in education.
Keynote speakers included: Pak Tee Ng, Associate Dean, Leadership Learning at the National Institute of Education at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Rose Luckin, leading researcher on artificial intelligence, and Meagan Fallone, CEO of Barefoot College International, an organization aimed at spreading self-sufficiency and sustainability “one woman at a time” in least developed countries.
Dr. Underwood (Superintendent) and Ms. Choco Laplana (IB and Curriculum & Accreditation Coordinator) spent the three days networking and attending various workshops led by IB educators and IB personnel on topics such as Formative Assessment, Learning Diversity and Inclusion, Concept-based teaching and IB Program Updates.
“Happy 50th Birthday, IB”
It is impressive to see how far the IB has come over the last 50 years, and how it has established itself as the premier International School Program in the world. CIS is proud to have been the first, and currently still the only, IB World School in the Visayas and Mindanao region of the Philippines, and like the IB, we look forward to continuing our journey towards providing the most effective learning environment for our students to develop in!
“The best teachers are those who know their students not just who gets the most grade 7s [top grades]”
The Model United Nations club members recently traveled to Beijing, China, for the 25th anniversary of the International School of Beijing’s THIMUN-affiliated conference. The theme this year was “Justice and Equity in the Age of Globalization”, and was reflected throughout all issues and crises debated in each forum.
Our students filled the roles of delegates from Spain and Vietnam in a variety of committees, resolving and debating a wide array of important issues challenging the world today. As part of this conference, students were able to attend brief lectures by prestigious guest speakers from the United Nations, New York Times, US Embassy in China, and more.
A trip to a historically and culturally rich country such as China would not be complete without experiencing local traditions, foods, and places. Students climbed the Great Wall, attended Kung Fu and Chinese acrobatic shows, indulged in local cuisine, and toured the Forbidden City.
CIS is proud of its continued representation at the conference, and congratulates all the students for their preparation, hard work, and continued dedication throughout the conference. We are hoping that more high school students in the coming years will continue to help the club grow!

On Wednesday, October 25, we had our regular Coffee Morning topic on the environmental initiatives and ways our parents and families can be involved on efforts we can do and how we can incorporate it in our daily lives at home!
We had very good ideas and feedback from our parents who are equally passionate in helping us save the environment for the future.
Cebu International School traveled to Manila over the weekend (Oct 19-22) to participate in the ISAC (International Schools Activities Conference) Volleyball Tournament.
The girls team, led by Senior Captain and All-ISAC Honoree Catrina Suarez, finished 2-4 on the weekend in a competitive girls bracket. With only one graduating senior, the team looks poised to be even stronger next season.
The boys team, led by Senior Captain Michael Pochiet and All-ISAC Honorees Eric Spencer, Drew Riveral, and Ken Nishikura, finished undefeated not losing a single set the entire tournament. The boys are back-to-back ISAC Champions for the first time in CIS history, defeating Brent International School Baguio in the finals for the second straight year. Even with four graduating seniors, the CIS boys volleyball team has a strong core returning next season.
The tournament was attended by athletes, coaches and athletic directors from Brent International School Baguio, Brent International School Manila, Brent International School Subic, British School Manila, Faith International Academy, Southville International School and Colleges and Cebu International School.
This is CIS’s third championship title and first back-to-back championship title.
