Dear CISH Students and Parents,

We are excited to welcome you back, or on board for the first time, for the start of the new 2025-26 academic year! My name is David Swanson and it an honor to be taking on the leadership of CISH as your new Head of School.

At CISH, we are committed to excellence in education and exceptional care for you, our students. It is our mission to create a world-class academic environment where you can be challenged intellectually and supported individually as you grow into thoughtful, compassionate global citizens.

At the heart of our school is a caring culture. We see each of you as an important individual at CISH and strive to create a kind and nurturing environment where you can thrive.

We are proud to offer you the full continuum of International Baccalaureate (IB) programs at CISH - one of the most respected educational pathways in the world today. The IB is more than an academic curriculum - it is a holistic approach to learning that helps students become critical thinkers, creative problem-solvers, ethical leaders and active global citizens.

Through the IB programs, you will learn how to inquire, reflect, collaborate, and take meaningful action. As a CISH student, you are encouraged, not only to acquire knowledge, but to apply it in ways that make a positive difference in the world around you. It is our aim to ensure that every CISH graduate leaves us academically prepared and personally empowered to shape the future with confidence and compassion.

Thank you for choosing to be part of the CISH family for the 2025-26 academic year. We are honored to be on this journey with you, and we look forward to a wonderful year of learning and meaningful growth together.
