CIC is an IB World School and an early adopter of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (DP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP), with a worldwide reputation for rigor and international perspective. It is fully accredited by Cognia and authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization to offer MYP and DP. As a private, non-profit, co-educational day school, CIC provides a PN-12 English-speaking environment.

The PSTA actively supports a large number of volunteer activities. The events include the Welcome Back Barbecue in September and the Halloween Carnival in October.
