Beate and Kjell Gauksheim, Norwegian
Henrik (17), Hedda (14) and Frida (14)
Henrik started at CIS in 2002 when he was four years old and
attended the Junior Kindergarten class. Currently he is in Grade 11,
the first year of his IB Diploma, and will graduate next year. Hedda
and Frida joined CIS in 2005, also aged four, and now they are both
in Grade 8.
When we moved to Singapore in 2002, we happened to live next
door to the then Principal of CIS. He asked if Henrik had found a
school yet, and when we said no, he suggested that we check out
CIS. We did so and we haven’t regretted it.
We have been very satisfied with what CIS has offered in terms
of academics and well-equipped facilities for sports and play. After
more than a decade of experience with the school, we know how
dedicated they are. We are very happy with the teachers at CIS; the
school always places a strong focus on the students’ independent
learning abilities, encouraging them to set their own goals.
We have recommended CIS to other families on the several
occasions we were asked for our opinion. Our experience with the
school has been great and we believe CIS offers a good curriculum
and programme, as well as a big and modern campus at Lakeside.
