Academics Overview

At CISM, we offer a curriculum, which incorporates internationally recognized principles and practices. The primary and lower-secondary age groups implement the Cambridge Assessment International Education based curriculum. At higher secondary, we implement the course work and curriculum necessary to satisfy the requirements for IGCSE. With completion of Year 11, we grant students a High School Diploma. The Diploma not only signifies the end of their time at CISM, but it also provides information about all their successes and achievements that they have gained. This Diploma prepares the students for their next stage of life whichever path they may choose.
