Department Philosophy

The major premises of C.I.C.'s Middle and Secondary English curricula are that

• language is perhaps the most powerful tool that allows us to comprehend, interpret, and participate meaningfully in the world.
• the study of English is one of several global languages necessary for developing and promoting intercultural awareness among international schools and beyond.
• CIC's English program enables students to communicate more effectively and to think both critically and creatively in English through speaking, writing, listening, reading, and viewing.
• the Middle Years Program and Diploma Program of the International Baccalaureate Organization will prepare students to engage in fluent and responsible social interaction, to be more discerning when analyzing and evaluating information, and to raise their levels of consciousness and curiosity about the world.
