Cunae International School is a small, boutique private school set within 6 picturesque acres on the edge of The Woodlands. In a welcoming and intimate atmosphere that is both supportive and encouraging, Cunae offers an internationally recognised academic program to students aged Pre-K through 10th grade, with planned expansion to 12th grade in 2012.
The school emerged in 2006, with 5 students, to support a need for an adaptable and all encompassing education reflective of the world in which we live, and the diverse student population that exists. Growing to 23 students in 2008 and 37 students in 2009, we recognised that children are unique in their backgrounds, skills, interests and experiences; advance at different rates; and possess varied learning styles. These distinct differences, seen in our own student population, underscored the necessity of a flexible educational approach so that each child has the opportunity to succeed. We, at Cunae, adhere to this approach, individualising and modifying the curriculum and environment, where possible, to meet the specific needs of each student.
As part of meeting those needs, our staff has developed a dynamic, effective and relevant curriculum so that our students’ academic attainment and social awareness is in step with the ever changing world and today’s global society. To this end, many national and international standards, including that of the U.K., Canada, Australia, and the U.S., have been resourced, in addition to pursuing the implementation of the International Baccalaureate Programme. In support of these standards, we actively consult new research findings in the areas of education and developmental psychology. Such research not only underpins the curriculum, but helps ensure that the environment is conducive to both academic scholarship and our students’ personal development.
Our population continues to grow as a direct response to a community desire to have a school that truly ‘sees’ and ‘hears’ their child/ren, providing an excellent opportunity for both academic attainment and personal growth. With community support, it is anticipated that Cunae will grow to accommodate approximately 200 students on the current campus.
