"The CIS objective is to develop both inner and outer powers so as to inspire every child to become both good and smart, a gift of god to mankind and a pride of the human race.”

City International School (CIS) is Lucknow's first international school. Located near Kukrail National Park off Picnic Spot Road near Munshi Puliya, the school is in a noise and pollution free environment about 1.5 kilometres from CIMAP.

CIS began its first full academic session in April 2007. It now offers classes from Playgroup to Class VIII. An exclusively English medium school, the CIS plans to offer the CBSE and the International Baccalaureate (IB). The IB is recognised worldwide and in India. There are about 30 international schools in India offering the IB curriculum.

CIS is also attached to a new CIS Teacher's Training College, attracting teachers and trainers from India and abroad. In addition, CIS runs the DEVI School in the afternoon shift so that world class education may be provided to those who cannot afford.
