Guiding Statements

The inspiration underlying the establishment of the school is to contribute to making the future a better place through values based learning and Christian nurturing. The curriculum chosen to realize the academic vision is a parallel program of Cambridge and Ghanaian Curricular.

This inspiration is captured in the School Motto: “So that future generations may be better off”. Its Latin version, to keep it concise, is: UT POSTERIS SIT MELIUS.

Our aspiration is that every generation would be better than the one preceding it, through our chosen curriculum, our value-based training and our Christian faith nurturing. In order words, we prepare today’s children for the next generation, and contribute to making every next generation a better one through our carefully selected programmes, which we constantly review to make sure we are relevant.

The School Name has been prayerfully chosen, and its symbolic of the Biblical Cedar Tree.

Cedar:

• A plant that typically yields fragrance, durable timber in particular. It symbolizes strength, resilience, immortality and elevation.
• A tall wide evergreen tree – one that never loses its leaves.
• From Hebrew root meaning “to be firm”.

Mountain:

• It is a landform that rises prominently above its surroundings.
• Elevated topographical feature formed by geological faulting and erosion.
• Mountains are of a prophetic significance in the Bible.

International:

• Means – involving more than one country. It also means interaction between or encompassing more than one nation.

 

School:

• A place of teaching and learning, including research.

 

At CMIS, our philosophy is that:

The business is about people, and people are the business.

• This means Employees, Students and Parents are all at the centre of what we do.
• What we do as a business is working to create our future together.
• This philosophy of the business being about people is at the heart of everything we do, and this is what drives the CMIS team every day.
