A message from our Principal Mr. Adam Hams:
Dear CIS Families,
As we begin this year together, I want to share something close to my heart as the Principal of CIS.
At CIS, we believe that education is incomplete if it shapes only the mind and not the character. Alongside academic excellence, we are deeply committed to instilling the values our community holds dear in every student who walks through our doors.
Arabic and Islamic Studies hold a special place in this mission. For us, this is not simply a subject to be taught and examined; it is the beating heart of who we are as a school. Through it, we aim to nurture strong character and self-discipline in our students, to build a culture of kindness where bullying and unkindness have no place, and to celebrate and pass on the language, faith, and heritage of Djibouti to the next generation.
Thank you for trusting us with your children. We look forward to a wonderful year ahead, together.
With warm regards,
Adam Hams
Principal, Canadian International School
