For students entering grades 6 - 12, we're offering what may be the LAST on-campus ISEE entrance exam of the summer on Tuesday, June 30, with check-in at 8:15 and testing from 8:30 - 11:45 am. Questions for students:

* Is waking up early during summer vacation a tragedy? Some may say yes.

* Is taking a long test anyone's idea of fun? Probably not.

* Will you survive? Every CIS applicant before you has. We recommend snacks, confidence, and at least one alarm clock. 😎

Parents: The ISEE helps us assess academic readiness and supports the admissions process for grades 6–12. Students can test online at home on other dates, but this on-campus session offers a convenient, proctored option. Apply for admission at cislions.org by this Friday, June 26, and we'll help get your student registered for the ISEE.

We are offering the ISEE entrance exam on Monday, June 22, at 8:30 am on the CIS campus. If your child is interested in enrollment in grades 6-12, submit your application for admission today and we’ll get you registered for the ISEE. This exam is just one part of the application file, so there is no need for students to prepare or stress. Contact [email protected] to get started.

FREE and open to the public! You are invited to a night of community and summer fun at CIS. Join us on July 2, from 7-9 pm. Explore the campus, connect with our community, and enjoy family friendly activities for all ages. Register today at bit.ly/lightupcis. We can’t wait to celebrate with you.
