Welcome to the Carolina International School
web site.
You have found an extraordinary school, where in-depth individual attention is combined with an international perspective and environmental awareness; where students find common values while exploring the diversity of cultures and ecosystems on earth; where academic excellence is balanced with holistic student development. Our mission at Carolina International School is to discover each student’s unique gifts, to nurture them as global stewards, and astound them with what they can achieve.
Carolina International School opened September 13, 2004, just outside Charlotte in Cabarrus County, with grades K-7. We now offer grades K-10 and plan to add 11th and 12th grades as we move forward with plans for a new facility. CIS is open to all North Carolina students, tuition-free. Our average class size is 21 students, with approximately 42 students per grade.
We hope this web site provides a useful introduction to our exciting educational program. We welcome your comments and questions, and invite you to join our Carolina International School learning community.
