CIS ACADEMY

CIS Academy is a public high school that is part of the Pasadena Unified school district, located in Pasadena, CA with about 176 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 8 teachers, CIS Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 22:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

CIS Academy, located on East Sierra Madre Boulevard, is a specialized educational program operating within the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD). The academy is designed to serve as an alternative learning environment, focusing on providing personalized academic support for students who may benefit from a non-traditional classroom setting. Its mission centers on helping students overcome academic challenges, earn necessary credits, and develop the skills required for graduation and future success.

The school emphasizes a structured yet flexible curriculum that allows students to progress at their own pace. By maintaining a smaller campus atmosphere, CIS Academy fosters closer relationships between faculty and students, ensuring that each individual receives targeted attention to address their specific educational needs. Through its integration with the broader Pasadena Unified School District, the academy remains committed to preparing its students for college, career, and long-term personal growth.
