The Council of International Schools (CIS) is a membership organization aimed at international education.[2][3]

CIS was formed in 2003.[4][5] It has over 1,500 institutional members consisting of over 800 schools and 600 colleges/universities, located in 121 countries.[5] Many international schools in countries around the world are paying members.[6] The services of CIS include international educational accreditation.[2]

The CIS headquarters are in Leiden, The Netherlands. CIS's legal name is Council of International Schools, Inc. and it is a "not-for-profit" company registered in the state of Delaware in the United States.[7]

To be CIS Accredited, a school pays the membership fee and then an accreditation "registration fee" of €2,140. Once CIS Accredited, the school then pays €4,350 annually. Evaluation of the school takes place every five years.[8] Accredited schools complete a peer-evaluation process.[9]

The annual membership fee is based on the number of students the school has enrolled.
