About this school
Cebu International School (CIS) was founded in 1924 as the Cebu American School and has grown from a five-room tutorial schoolhouse into an Early Years to Grade 12 international school. It is a private, secular, non-stock and non-profit corporation governed by a Board of Trustees elected from the parent body. After sites in Lahug and Banilad, the school moved in 2000 to its purpose-built 3.2-hectare campus in Pit-os.
CIS describes itself as the first IB continuum school in the Philippines:
- Early Years (ages 3–4) and Primary Years Programme (Kindergarten–Grade 5)
- Middle Years Programme (Grades 6–10), currently in candidate status
- IB Diploma Programme (Grades 11–12), authorised since 1999
The school is accredited by the Council of International Schools, WASC and PAASCU. It reports more than 20 nationalities and an average student-teacher ratio of about 7 to 1, and teaching is in English by international and Filipino faculty.
The secure campus has classrooms, laboratories, art and music rooms, a maker space, two gymnasiums, a full-size grass sports field and a 40-bed student residence opened in 2022, so CIS can take both day and boarding students.
