About PISA

Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is an international assessment program that covers 81 economies worldwide. It aims to evaluate the knowledge and skills of 15-year-old students in reading, mathematics, and science.

Conducted every three years by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), PISA's goal is to assess students' ability to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world problems, rather than simply testing their memorization and rote learning abilities.

Starting with the end in mind an open and transparent international curriculum

The Alberta curriculum offers a wealth of information, and the official website of the Alberta Education Department in Canada publicly shares the teaching content for all grades and subjects. This ensures transparency in the teaching practices of all Alberta Accredited International Schools (AAIS). CISFS promises that all enrolled students will receive a globally consistent, high-quality standard of Alberta education.

Seamless Integration with Global High School Curriculums

CIS provides diverse options for high school students, allowing them to choose different international curricula based on their academic needs. In addition to the Alberta high school curriculum in Canada, CIS also offers the A-level curriculum, and the CIS Creative Design Academy curriculum. The Alberta curriculum is well-known for its rigor, depth, and breadth, providing students with a solid academic foundation and comprehensive skills. This allows students to seamlessly transition to either continue studying the Alberta high school curriculum or switch to high school curricula in other countries.

An international school accredited by the Alberta curriculum.

There are many international schools using the Alberta Curriculum throughout the world, and there is an official accreditation standard to become an Alberta accredited international school. It requires strong leadership, commitment, planning, resources and time. Schools move through four tiers as they proceed through the accreditation process. An Alberta accredited international school must meet certain accreditation requirements covering all aspects of school operation and education quality.

We did this because of our complete commitment to all of our students, and our desire to ensure that every single student at CIS becomes a global citizen, that they can live all-rounded, fulfilling lives, and that they can contribute to the betterment of themselves, their community and the world.

In the future, students studying at CIS will be considered equivalent to being registered in the Canadian education system. Upon enrollment, they will have Canadian student status, and upon successful completion of the high school curriculum and graduation, they will obtain the Alberta High School Diploma, which serves as a strong foundation for CIS students applying to top-ranked universities worldwide.
