CIS accreditation

   We are a CIS Accredited School.

What does it mean to be a CIS accredited school?

The Council of International Schools (CIS) represents an accredited, global community of organisations that are committed to high-quality international education.

Having received the award of CIS International Accreditation, your child’s school joins a community of schools worldwide that are dedicated to providing high-quality education in an international context. Over 400 schools world-wide now hold accredited status with the Council of International Schools. Notably, Paragon ISC is only the second International School in Cambodia that has been rewarded a CIS accreditation. 

To be recognised as a CIS accredited school, Paragon ISC instils its programmes and offerings with international and intercultural perspective so that our students can move forward with the attitudes and understanding that will provide them with a solid base wherever their studies or work may take them.

Additionally, the CIS accreditation is going to benefit students with college and university acceptance world-wide as over 500 of the top universities in the world are part of the CIS membership community. Accordingly, universities and colleges around the world fully recognize and accept students’ transcripts from CIS-Accredited schools.

CIS accredited Paragon ISC is devoted to its mission and vision for students to view the values from multiple perspectives that help them embed global citizenship such as courtesy and friendship. 

We are very thrilled to be a CIS Accredited School. 

Short notes:

• Council of International Schools (CIS) helps Paragon ISC to demonstrate and commit themselves to high-quality international education.

• Accreditation brings our STUDENTS many benefits:

  • It helps us to attract the best teachers;

  • Most universities want students to be graduating from accredited schools, where they have faith that there’s credibility behind the courses that they took.

  • There are many scholarships that are tied to being from an accredited school.

  • The transfer of credits from one school to another, very critical that students be from accredited schools, so that when they do transfer from one school to another, that those credits go with them.  

  • It allows students to show to the world that the schooling that they’ve had bears quality and the knowledge that they’ve gained, that someone has looked at.

  • It connects them with the 500+ universities in CIS’s network, through fairs and an introductions service;

  • It allows us to nominate students who promote global citizenship and international awareness in their communities for a CIS International Student Award. (?!)
