Corrales International School

Excellent school! We could not be happier. We were so worried about sending or son to middle school. This school is excellent in every way. The teachers email parents almost every day to keep them informed. The students are respectful and kind to eachother. My son is learning Manderine and Spanish. We love it here!

I must say, being an extremely finicky parent when it comes to academics, this school (in my humble opinion) fits the bill very well. We are very excited they are getting so much instruction in Spanish, and we are thrilled they are finally getting to practice critical thinking!

This school is amazing! I'm still in awe of what my son learned last year. There is a wonderful focus on multiculturalism, world citizenship and teamwork. I can say enough good about the teachers I've interacted with at CIS. The PTA is well run and contributes an enormous amount to the school environment. We are excited to be back for a second year!

I selected this school for my kindergartener after countless hours of distress (reading on this website and others for hours) seeking the "holy grail" of kindergartens for my precious 5 year old daughter. We attended CIS summer school (a sneak peak) in 2010, and it wasn't till the end of that summer that she creaped up the waiting list and was finally offered a spot. I snatched up that spot and made the last minute shift in plans to enroll her in CIS, and I have to say haven't regretted it for even a moment. Maestra Gabby manages her kindergarten like a pro blending IB curriculum with her Montessori background seamlessly. This past year she faced down some real challenges and our faith in her never wavered for a moment. I was proud to serve as her room parent. My daughter finished Kindergarten reading (both in English and Spanish), Writing her own short stories (both in English and Spanish--and in cursive I have to add), she is diving into science, history, international issues and events with curiosity, respect and confidence. CIS goes beyond traditional curriculum bridging the gap between the world and the classroom. We look forward to our 2nd year of CIS adventures.

As a parent of a child with special needs, I could not be more disappointed with this school. Not to mention, this school has more non-instruction days worked into each week than I ever knew was possible. From replacing a full instructional day for Cinco de Mayo, to appropriating a walk to a movie for "earth day," this school has failed both my expectations and my child. Parents beware!

We love this school. It is a new school, and has transformed over the past 2 years. There is incredible parent involvement and the test scores are through the roof. The head administrator (who began last year mid-year) has contributed enormously to the positive growth of the school. The teachers are fabulous. If you wish to raise your child with an inclusive, global, self-respecting attitude, with respect of other cultures, customes and views - CIS is the school for your family!

We are a family that has been at the school since the beginning. The education that both our children has received has been amazing at all levels. When your children come home and tell you how much they love school, great things are happening. The teachers and adminstration, the board, PTA and SAC members put their heart and souls into this school. This is an amazing school that we are truly blessed to be a part of!

Our family loves CIS! The teachers are truly amazing, the staff is clearly invested in the children and the administration goes above and beyond to keep everything running smoothly while remaining open to parent and community input! My son is in his second year (1st grade) at CIS and is reading in spanish and english with ease, takes advantage of extras like the soccer, chess and bug clubs, and is learning how to be an informed, internationally-minded thinker! I look forward to next year when my younger son enters the Kinder class at CIS as well.
