An Achievement of High Quality and Rigor

Within CIS membership are schools that have achieved a mark of high quality and rigour - CIS International Accreditation. This recognition signifies that the school has completed a comprehensive self-study and international peer review as part of a continuous improvement process focusing on standards and indicators that promote the development of student knowledge, skills, attributes and actions aligned with the CIS Definition of Global Citizenship.

Colleges and universities worldwide acknowledge that a CIS Accredited School meets internationally-agreed and recognized standards and develops global citizens with the qualities and skills that they are seeking in students.

What does it mean to be a CIS accredited school?

As part of the Council of International Schools (CIS) community, BISC Lincoln Park shares some of the same ideals that make our organizations so unrivaled:

• 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.

Together, we enhance our students' learning experiences by:

• expanding our pupils' minds and perspectives
• challenging our students at everything they do
• promoting a values-based education that defines global leadership
• embracing diversity to welcome ideas, cultures, and connections from all parts of the world. 

CIS International Accreditation is recognized by the National Association of Independent Schools (USA), and by many governmental and non-governmental agencies around the world.
