New school year. New faces. New memories. ✨

You may have a lot of “What if…?” questions right now. Choose the ones that spark excitement.

And… what if you make your best memories, meet your people, and have way more fun than you expected? 💚

Orientation was just the beginning.

Now it‘s time to let your CIC adventure begin! 🎓

Some journeys are even more meaningful when they’re shared.

Since arriving at CIC as Grade 11 students in August 2024, Allison and Andrea have grown side by side - challenging each other, celebrating every milestone together, and making the most of every opportunity. From earning the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh’s Gold Award and Top Subject Awards to getting involved in school life, they made every moment at CIC count.

Now, their journey continues as they pursue Medical Sciences at Western University, proving that hard work, determination, and the support of someone who believes in you can take you even further.

Congratulations, Allison and Andrea! We can’t wait to see where your shared journey leads next. 💙

Your encouragement, patience, and unwavering support have helped shape these students into the confident individuals they are today.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your family’s journey. Once CIC, Always CIC. 🎓💙
