“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!
