Principal’s Welcome Message Dear Students and Parents, Welcome to the CIS Senior School. The Senior School comprises grades 9-12. It was created as a separate division of the school, and relocated to the City Campus, in 2011. This allowed not only for the growth of the school, but also for particular focus on the social, emotional and academic development of Senior School students. In 2013-14 the Senior School will have around 240 students, representing over 50 nationalities. Cultural diversity is important to us, and we very much appreciate the variety of backgrounds and experiences that our students and their families bring to CIS. We also value our wonderful local community, and appreciate opportunities to incorporate Danish culture into our curriculum and school life. Copenhagen is a culturally and intellectually rich city, of which we are fortunate to be a part. CIS offers a rigorous Senior School academic program, driven by a strong commitment to our mission to develop the potential of each student in a stimulating environment of cultural diversity, academic excellence and mutual respect. We offer the IB curriculum throughout Senior School, comprising the 4 th and 5 th years of the Middle Years Program in grades 9 & 10, and the Diploma Program in grades 11 & 12. Our graduates receive a CIS High School Diploma, accredited by the U.S North Eastern Association of Schools and Colleges, and the Council of International Schools. The majority of our students also complete the full IB Diploma. CIS also offers a range of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, and there are many ways to be involved in the life of the school beyond the classroom. We encourage our students to become involved in, develop and lead improvement initiatives, service learning opportunities and community events. Faculty and staff are always available for support and encouragement. This handbook is designed to be a reference so that you have necessary information readily available. It is important that you are familiar with school policies and procedures. The school website, http://www.cis.dk, also has up to date information, provides contact details for faculty and staff, and should be checked regularly for details of school events. I look forward to working with you throughout the school year Best wishes, Caroline Brokvam Senior School Principal CIS Senior School Parent/Student Handbook 3
