Multilingual Staff
Multilingual staff help students and parents feel comfortable and connected. Many of CIC’s admissions and liaison staff have lived or studied outside Canada and are fluent in languages commonly spoken by our students and their families. This makes them especially helpful during students’ transition to life at CIC and when families need to connect with the school.
