The board of Canadian International Private School (C.I.P.S.) believes that by providing a learning environment that supports their cultural and second language needs, international students, primarily from Southeast Asia, will be better prepared to challenge the requirements of the high school Alberta Program of Studies and earn enough credits to achieve a high school diploma. In a culturally sensitive environment, where teachers and learners are expected to share responsibility for the learning processes, the core values of perseverance, integrity, accountability, safety and mutual respect will be promoted to prepare the students for postsecondary education and lifelong learning.

C.I.P.S. will employ certificated teaching staff who are prepared to respect and support students who must deal with the challenge of cultural differences in both school and society at large. Every effort will be made to support and improve students’ English language proficiency as an essential skill for students to fully master the skills, knowledge and attitudes of the Alberta Program of Studies.
