International Accreditation

The Council of International Schools (CIS) is a membership community committed to high quality international education.

As a global non-profit membership organisation, CIS provides services to primary and secondary schools, higher education institutions and individuals that share these labels:

  • a desire to provide students with the knowledge, skills and abilities to pursue their lives as global citizens; and
  • a commitment to high quality international education.

To achieve this goal, our members must infuse their programs and offerings with international and intercultural perspective. This will equip students to move forward with the attitudes and understanding that will provide them with a solid base wherever their studies or work may take them. Primary and secondary school members must further commit to undertaking an ongoing external quality assurance process to enhance student learning.

The CIS community includes 740 schools and 610 colleges and universities representing 122 countries.
