Academic Excellence | Review of Achievement Exhibition Week: Lighting up Every Academic Journey
The CIS Exhibition Week has successfully concluded. Throughout the week, students from ECE to Secondary showcased their impressive learning achievements, making it a school-wide celebration of creativity and growth.
Each division presented the students’ progress and development over the semester to our parent community. With parents actively involved, students felt seen and encouraged, and the school’s mission—"Innovation Today, Lead Tomorrow"—was further reinforced. Let’s take a look back at the highlights of this meaningful week!
ECE:
Celebrating Growth,
Connecting to the Future
PK2
Nurturing Minds and Hearts in Early Learning
Children gradually expanded their understanding of the world around them by learning about family members, emotions, and community helpers.
Through “Show and Tell,” children learned to express themselves with confidence. Activities like tracing and matching colors with weather allowed them to engage in hands-on practice, strengthening their observation skills and coordination.
These experiences not only enriched their knowledge but also supported the development of both emotional growth and fine motor skills.

Children shared their dream jobs, environmental art projects, and water cycle experiments—showing how they explore and understand the world around them.
Through these creative projects, the children not only expressed their concern for society but also showed a strong desire to connect with the world around them. In addition, they explored AI tools to design images of their own imagination, demonstrating bold creativity and a spirit of innovation.

Secondary:
Where Academic Skills
Meet Innovative Thinking
The secondary school open classes were equally engaging. Students from Grades 7 to 10 opened up their classrooms in subjects such as Mathematics, Social Studies, and Biology, inviting parents to observe and participate.
In the classroom, students showcased their learning progress through speeches and group presentations, demonstrating not only their grasp of subject knowledge but also strong communication and teamwork skills.
Project-based learning became a major highlight of the exhibition. Throughout the process, academic thinking and creativity complemented and inspired each other. By observing the classes in person, parents gained a more direct and tangible understanding of their children's growth and learning experience in the secondary school years.
Parents gained a deeper understanding of how secondary school teaching at CIS supports students' academic development and holistic competencies through the strengths of the CIS curriculum.
