We are entering the final term of the year with enthusiasm and a desire to embark on new adventures.

This term will be full of special moments: exciting trips, exhibitions, events, and memorable experiences with our Óptimos.
Academically, we remain committed to excellence. Every lesson, every challenge brings us closer to our goals.

To our DP2 students: as you prepare to close this extraordinary chapter, we want to pay tribute to everything you have achieved here and wish you the very best of luck for your IB final exams. This is your last month at CIT, and you leave not only with achievements, but with friendships and memories that will stay with you forever.

Let the adventure begin. Together, we will make this term unforgettable.

We are pleased to inform you that we are now ready to start using our new platform, iSAMS, which will replace Alexia.

Over the past week, it has been available for staff use only, which has given us the opportunity to test it internally and ensure it is working correctly. On Monday 13 April, we will grant access to families. To help you learn how to use the platform, we have organised two online seminars, which will be recorded. One on the 14th of April at 10am in Spanish and another on 15th of April at 11h in English. You will also be sent a document containing full, detailed instructions.

Alexia will stay active for a while.

We hope this will be a positive change for everyone and we thank you for your cooperation and patience during the transition.

The 3rd term excursions are just around the corner! You can find here all the information about it.

One of the most anticipated moments of the school year has arrived. At CIT, we believe in learning that goes far beyond the classroom: we want our students to live real, challenging, and exciting experiences that help them discover who they are, what they love, and everything they are capable of doing. This program is designed for each educational stage and combines adventure, culture, sport, and teamwork, fostering autonomy, critical thinking, teamwork, resilience, and above all, enthusiasm for continued learning. With sports, cultural, nature connection, and personal immersion activities, the Óptimo Project is a unique opportunity for our students to face new challenges, enjoy learning, and strengthen their self-esteem in safe, inspiring, and meaningful environments.

To do this, the students will dress up as their characters and present all the research and reflections they have done during the last two months.

We invite you to a special event to celebrate the Nuru Gala, the charity project that our DP1 students are driving forward with such enthusiasm following their experience in Kenya.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 29 April at 3:00pm, when you’ll have the chance to learn more about the project and the people making it happen, as well as the next steps leading up to the gala on 19 June (save the date!).

If you’d also like to get involved or raise awareness of your own projects as part of the gala, we’d be delighted to have you on board.

The school with the most pupils enrolled will win a prize!

 It is the first time in history that no one has any idea what the world will look like in twenty years. The one thing to know about AI, the most important thing to know about AI, it is the first technology in history that can make decisions by itself and create new ideas by itself. People compare it to the printing press and to the atom bomb. But no, it is completely different.
