About Children’s International School:
A multi-cultural, full-day preschool, Children’s International School (CIS) has a mission to provide young children from multicultural backgrounds with a high-quality learning environment. And since Beatrice Tierney founded the school in 1985, three additional locations have opened across Northern Virginia. Each location provides a variety of extracurricular activities that include music, dance, language and literacy while children as young as pre-k are offered multilingual language courses. CIS’s educational approach is to enrich, encourage and instruct children to ensure bright futures and nurtured minds, bodies and sprits through challenging curriculum and a safe and caring environment. However, the learning experience is found not only in the classroom. Field trips frequently involve local museums, the National Zoo and many destinations in the local community such as playgrounds, libraries, galleries, nurseries and the fire department.
Children’s International School recognizes parents as the primary educators in their children’s lives and promotes a strong partnership between the child’s teacher and parent as well as a healthy involvement in the child’s daily school activities. It takes more than a bright mind and able body to live a happy and purposeful life, so CIS strives to also teach students important lessons that build character and nurture the spirit. Infants through school age children can feel safe, educated and nurtured in the care of CIS’s team of dedicated and devoted teachers.
Passionate about their calling, teachers at Children’s International School have a lasting influence in each of their students’ lives. This passion found within CIS extends far beyond the classroom. As a part of their global outreach efforts, the CIS leadership team helps support the Arlington Academy of Hope, a non-profit organization that provides education to children in rural Uganda as well as travel abroad to provide teacher training and education for at-risk children. In addition, CIS has adopted a sister school in Uganda, which serves children with learning disabilities. The expertise and enthusiasm found within the staff at Children’s International School truly makes a difference in each student’s life.
