Center for International Studies 

The Dr. Phillips High School's Center for International Studies Magnet (CIS), established in 1987, provides a strong academic curriculum with an international dimension where students develop the skills and knowledge to cultivate an attitude of cross-cultural awareness. The CIS curriculum emphasizes major concepts in international affairs, politics, history, world religions, and humanities; while having the opportunity to become fluent in a foreign language. The CIS magnet offers a strong Advanced Placement emphasis, enhancing student opportunities for scholarships and college entrance. In support of our magnet mission, our students take AP-social studies classes, Honors and AP- English classes, and complete four years of a world language while in high school.
