The Canadian International School (CIS), Bengaluru has launched CIS Global Online (CIS GOS) School, which the school claims, is the only online international school in India.
The online school is offering international curriculum for students from grade 5 – 8 and is admitting students from across India and its neighboring countries for the academic year beginning in July 2022
CIS Global Online School uses Cambridge Standards and the school hopes to bring in personalized learning – anytime, anywhere, remarkable online teaching pedagogies and world-class education at affordable fees and exposure to culturally divergent peer groups.
Students will have the flexibility of pursuing their own passions in the Arts (Dance, Drama, Music, and Visual Arts) and Physical Education (Well-Being, Conditioning and the pursuit of a variety of Sports) through either integrating their work with current mentors in any discipline, or through utilizing CIS Global Online Specialists who create challenging opportunities to explore one’s creativity.
The Global Online School’s students also can learn new languages including French, Mandarin, Spanish or any other language they may wish to pursue.
Shweta Sastri, Managing Director, Canadian International School, said: “Ahead of the pandemic, we envisioned creating an online learning environment for students and families to provide a truly international, globally minded platform for learning to reach learners who wish for but cannot access high quality education.
“The pandemic provided the opportunity to grow and refine this work to help us create this unique and flexible learning environment for students. The online school will define the future of education and will change the way people think about schooling. CIS Global Online School creates an opportunity for students who do not have access to quality international education in their current situation.”
