Key Stage 1

Key Stage 1 - Year 1 / Year 2 / Year 3

The Key Stage 1 section of CISM aims to provide students with a warm and encouraging environment where they feel comfortable and can perform at their best. We nurture children in such a way that they respect themselves and others, and are always motivated to freely and fully express themselves academically, socially, and emotionally. Our teachers work closely with students and their families to achieve success for each and every one of them.

The following are the courses we offer, along with a brief description of each:
