CIA FIRST International School is a private, non-sectarian international school that opened in
2004 with 16 students and the mission to cater to all students without prejudice, and to enable the
“whole child” (physical, mental, moral, and social) to master local and global competencies. The school
values diversity and global citizenship, which is reflected in the enrollment of the student body
representing more than 20 countries and 12 primary languages spoken in the students’ homes.
