We continue with our renovation works!
Below you will find some photos of the exciting progress of the refurbishment work on our CIT PLAZA with new playgrounds and a Secondary and Baccalaureate building. This project, designed to modernise and improve our facilities, is progressing well and we are excited about the changes it will bring. We are aware that this type of work may cause some temporary disruption, but we assure you that we are taking all necessary steps to minimise any disruption to daily school life.
The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our top priority throughout the process and we are confident that, once completed, these refurbishments will provide our students with an even more inspiring environment that is suited to today’s educational needs.In future newsletters we will keep you informed of progress and look forward to the moment when we can inaugurate these renovated spaces.

Start of the school year
All families
It is a pleasure to welcome you to a new year full of learning, discoveries and growth. The start of the school year for our PYP and DP students will be on the 9th of September and for MYP students on the 11th of September.
We are sure that this school year will be full of challenges, significant learning and unforgettable moments.
We look forward to welcoming you to the 2024/2025 school year.
Positive discipline in the classroom course
All families
We are happy to share an exciting update on the professional development of our teachers. Recently, our entire teaching staff participated in an official course by Marisa Moya, about Positive Discipline in the Classroom. An educational approach that emphasizes mutual respect, empathy, and creating a positive learning environment.
Throughout the training, our teachers have acquired practical tools and strategies to handle classroom situations constructively, promote individual and collective responsibility, and strengthen students’ self-esteem.
This approach aligns perfectly with our mission to provide a holistic education that focuses not only on academic achievement but also on the personal and emotional growth of each child. We are convinced that implementing these principles in our classrooms will contribute to creating an environment where all students feel valued, listened to and supported on their path to success.
Solemn Opening Ceremony of the School Year 2024/2025
All families
We are pleased to invite all families to the Solemn Opening Ceremony of the 2024-2025 school year. This is the beginning of a special school year in which we would like to celebrate with the whole CIT community all the new things that are coming up. For this reason, we have organised a very beautiful event in which we will have many surprises.
We would like to remind you that attendance at the event is compulsory for students from Year 4 onwards, who must wear their uniform jackets.
We kindly remind all families that this day the bus will leave at 3pm instead of 4pm.

Each stand will be staffed by our teachers and monitors, who will be happy to answer questions and provide all the information necessary for our students to choose the activities that interest them most.

All students are requested to attend in full uniform and jacket, wearing their school sash, except PYP4 and new students, who will receive their sash during the ceremony.
Tip/curiosity of the week
New families
All families
During this week we experienced some really special days at CIT during the adaptation day for our infant students and the coffee break organised for parents. It was a meeting full of excitement where the little ones and their families were able to enjoy a welcoming atmosphere as they began their process of adaptation to school life.
These days have been a valuable opportunity for the families to get to know each other and feel part of the school community from day one. In the meantime, the children were familiarising themselves with their new environment, always accompanied by the attention and affection of our teaching staff.
Thank you for joining us for this exciting start!
