Internatio­nal School

Jessica (Grade 12) and Mark (Grade 10) have attended CIS Lakeside since October 2013. Our experience at the school has been good. The children like the school and their classmates and teachers very much. There’s a wide variety of performing arts and athletic programmes to join. The campus is new, modern and offers the latest technology. Every floor has study pods that provide students with a great atmosphere for group study and socialisin­g. I’ve also been an active member of the PTA from almost the beginning, helping to bring the parent community closer and organising activities for parents, the faculty and students.

The children came from a full IB School in Munich and were only looking at full IB schools in Singapore. The middle school principal at Bavarian Internatio­nal School in Munich had once worked at CIS in Singapore and recommende­d it to us. After visiting CIS, we felt very welcome. The school was a good fit for our children, both in academics and extracurri­cular activities.

We would definitely recommend CIS to other families. Our kids were welcomed by the other students right away, even though they started in the middle of the year. The administra­tion and faculty are very approachab­le. One faculty member I would like to mention is Katherine Ross, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) coordinato­r and my daughter’s class advisor. She has been the “go-to person” for my children as well as us parents. She is one of the special people that make our experience at CIS very enjoyable. Another thing we like is SMART Time, one period of personal time after lunch, which can be used by students to meet teachers, join clubs, study or
