About Us

History of CCIS

Our school was formerly an elementary school.  Some students that currently attend here recall being at this school as an elementary student!

CIS has proudly been helping students succeed from all facets of life.  We have students of all ages, most of whom will gladly share how our school has helped them achieve their goals in a friendly and flexible way.  A way in which traditional schools are unable to do.

Please come in and meet our friendly staff and see if CIS can help you achieve your goals!  We accept adults and youth from both the public and separate school boards.
