The CISE Mission Statement
The Canadian International School of Egypt is dedicated to working in partnership with parents and students to provide a world-class teaching and learning environment to develop students as inquiring, knowledgeable, creative and caring citizens of a global society.
Educational Excellence…
The Canadian International School of Egypt (CISE) offers students an opportunity to develop through a diverse system that implements the Canadian Ontario curriculum and a wide range of activities.
Our inquiry- based programmes and activities encourage students to discover their interests and strengths. All of this is done in a safe, caring and supportive school environment that fosters positive attitudes and allows students to challenge themselves and be risk-takers, without the fear of being judged.
Character….
We instill and expect integrity, honesty, responsibility, respect caring and compassion for others.
Community….
Our purpose is to OPTIMIZE students’ full potential, to WIDEN their horizons through learning, cooperating and sharing and finally to CREATE an environment that will empower students to successfully exist in a global society.
Service….
We empower our students to address social, environmental, and global issues and to realize the obligation and value in giving of themselves for the public good.
“We encourage all of our students to become critical and independent thinkers. We take pride in the diversity of our international school community and create a climate of respect and acceptance for everyone.”
Canadian International School of Egypt is committed to living as an authentic, inclusive community. Our pursuit of this commitment to community recognizes and affirms the richness brought by difference and discovered through commonality.
