Copenhagen International School (CIS)

This morning we made our first REAL visit to Copenhagen International School (CIS) where Lily will likely enter the FIRST GRADE this fall. We were warmly welcomed by the admissions coordinator and director and given a wonderful eyes on/hands on tour of the school. WOW. What a wonderful place for learning - full of light and color, and happy, smiling faces.

This fall CIS will move the older students (grades 8-12 I believe) to their city campus (close to Chris' office.) This move allows the primary and middle school classes to expand in a big way. There will likely be four first grade classes in the fall, with a maximum of 20 students per class.

Some of the high lights of the visit included: The classrooms, learning center, library, playground, cafeteria, gym,  and early education auditorium (where Lily will have drama class once a week - OH MY!)

One of the most welcomed pieces of information we received was that parents are welcome at the school at any time! We can be as hands on as time allows, use the library (and free wi-fi,) meet up with friends and make it a very family-centered educational experience!

Stay tuned for lots of updates on our experience with CIS.
