Why CHIS?

Imagine a school where every day brings a spark. Where students make you laugh, challenge your thinking, and remind you why you chose teaching in the first place. That’s life at CHIS. Our young people are bright, diverse, and ambitious. They’ll surprise you with their insight, lift your spirits with their humour, and keep you on your toes in all the best ways.

You won’t be doing it alone. From your first day, you’ll be welcomed into a professional community that is both talented and down-to-earth. Colleagues share ideas freely, celebrate one another’s successes, and know the value of a kind word and a well-timed cup of tea.

What binds us together are our values. At CHIS we live out empathy, respect, inclusion, resilience, integrity, and adaptability. These aren’t just words on the wall — they shape how we treat one another, how we teach, and how our students grow.

At the heart of it all is a simple conviction: learning should always be a joy. We combine rigour with curiosity, discipline with laughter, and ambition with humanity. At CHIS, you’ll find a school where you’re stretched, supported, and inspired — and where coming to work each day feels like a privilege.
