Fine Arts & Design

Fine Arts at CISH is not just about creative expression, it forms an essential part of holistic education. 


Through a dynamic mash of visual arts, music, and drama, students develop critical thinking skills, cultural awareness, and personal voice. Our IB framework encourages inquiry and experimentation, which empowers our Maple Dragons to explore diverse artistic traditions while nurturing creativity and global-mindedness. 


Our Fine Arts program inspires students to connect their imagination with real-world perspectives, cultivating lifelong skills and appreciation for the arts.

In MYP design, a solution can be a model, prototype, product or system independently created and developed by students.

The MYP promotes inquiry in design by developing conceptual understanding within global contexts. Key concepts such as communication, communities, development and systems broadly frame the MYP curriculum.
