The children write, produce and perform their own plays and puppet shows. Physical Education Students at CIS learn a variety of skills to improve their coordination and movement through many team sports and activities, such as soccer, softball, swimming and tennis. They learn cooperative games and good sportsmanship in the process of daily exerci se and outdoor activities on the acres of playing fields at the school's Cubberley Community Center site. The children also have time each day for free outside play. The school is committed to integrating technology into the curriculum and making it accessible to students.
Children can communicate with students in other scho ols, and even their own parents via e-mail.
Cooking is an integral part of both Upper and Lower School experiences. Upper School students plan, purchase and prepare a budgeted, well-balanced lunch for the class once a week. There are also many opport unities throughout the year for all students to cook and try different international foods. Outside the Classroom Not all CIS learning occurs in the classroom. An important part of the CIS experience is the enrichment that comes through weekly trips to the Mitchell Park library, monthly field trips, and the school's Outdoor Education Program.
