Cairo Modern International School (CMIS) community believes that learning is a life- long , ever-changing process ;therefore, the mission of the school is to teach students how to learn , and achieve at the highest levels , and to prepare each student to contribute in the broadest sense to the effectiveness of the school community as well as to the community at large .

At CMIS we are committed to the following beliefs about learning:
Instruction is varied in its practice and is individualized to students’ particular learning styles, and when they are fully engaged and self- motivated.
Assessment by the school is designed not only to assess current levels of achievement, but also to establish new goals for achievement.
Academics, the arts, career and technology, electives, co- curricular and extra –curricular activities are crucial to a well – rounded education.
students also learn best by experience and by developing higher levels of mastery when they can apply learned knowledge and skills to new situations.
We further believe that students learn best in safe environments and when the entire community fully supports their learning.
