Welcome
CHINESE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL MANILA (CISM) is a private, non-sectarian, co-educational K-12 international school devoted to delivering to our students the highest standard of education. At CISM, we foster the values of integrity and honesty and strive to instill a global outlook through immersion in Western and Chinese cultures and the Mandarin and English languages. We are sensitive to the needs of our students and aspire to nurture their emotional, physical, intellectual, social, and artistic well-being. The rigorous CISM curriculum is aligned with the U.S. Common Core State Standards and prepares our graduates for acceptance in top tier colleges and universities around the world.
The cornerstone of the school’s vision was built on ensuring the success of every child. CISM understands that the way children are learning is fundamentally changing. Our dynamic approach embraces the innovations in our classrooms and initiatives in an educational model that focuses on student engagement and collaboration, community outreach, transdisciplinary learning, and global citizenship.
CISM has been officially authorized since 2011 as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School. IB World Schools share the same philosophy – a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education, qualities that CISM believes are important for our students.
In 2014, CISM was granted membership to the Council of International Schools which sets standards for international education. CIS Membership is conferred on a school that clearly demonstrates international mindedness, actively promotes international awareness in its students, applies the CIS Code of Ethics, and is willing to undertake an external school improvement process.
