Lincoln Is Growing. So Should Your Options for Education.

A Local School with a Global Outlook, Close to Home

Lincoln is one of the fastest-growing communities in the greater Sacramento region, and the families putting down roots here tend to care deeply about where their kids spend their days. California International School is just a short drive away in Rocklin, and more Lincoln families are discovering it as a thoughtful alternative to the traditional options nearby. Our program is built around the International Baccalaureate philosophy, encouraging students to ask questions, think critically, and grow into confident, curious people.

Small Classes, Real Relationships

Lincoln has good schools. But what we hear from families who eventually find CIS is that they were looking for something a little different: a place where their child isn't just a name on a roster. At CIS, class sizes are intentionally small, and teachers genuinely know their students. That kind of personal attention makes a meaningful difference in how kids show up to learning every day.

Learning That Goes Beyond the Textbook

Families driving in from Lincoln tell us they want their kids challenged and engaged. At CIS, we follow an inquiry-driven approach that encourages students to investigate, create, and problem-solve. Hands-on STEAM activities and time in our Makerspace give students the chance to learn by doing, building skills and confidence that carry well beyond the classroom.

Is CIS the right fit for your family in Lincoln?

Many of our families commute from surrounding communities and find it well worth it. CIS might be a good fit if you're looking for a close-knit school community where your child is known by name, a learning environment that feels active and meaningful, and teachers who invest in each student as an individual.

If any of that resonates, we'd love to show you around.
