We are excited that you are considering CIS for your child’s education. After browsing our website, learn more about CIS by downloading our admissions viewbook or completing the Request an Admissions Packet form. (A printed copy of the Viewbook is available by contacting our Admissions Director, Keija Parssinen, at (573) 777-9257 or at parssinenk@cislions.org.) The admissions packet includes detailed information about tuition, as well as an application for admission. Please read How to Apply for an in-depth explanation of the admissions process.
When considering CIS, families are often concerned with affordability. We offer financial aid to more than a third of our families, and you may contact Director of Admissions Keija Parssinen to receive an estimate of the aid for which you might be eligible. More information is available under the Tuition and Financial Aid tab. If you are interested in receiving the financial aid application, please indicate that on your admissions packet request form.
If you would like to be added to our mailing list for the next Open House event for prospective families and students, or if you have additional questions, please contact our Admissions Director:
