One of the saddest things about a school like CISL is saying goodbye to all of our wonderful, warm students.

What is one of the most fun (and strangest) ways to exercise? Laser tag!

What is one event that all CISL San Diego students say is a “must-do”? A day trip to Six Flags! CISL currently has Six Flags tickets on sale for $25.00 per ticket. Each ticket is good until December 31, 2012. Tickets are normally $62.00, so this is a great price! See Lorena at the Front Desk...

This month, we asked our students their opinion on the following topic: “Not everything that is learned is contained in books. Do you agree or disagree?” Our CISL San Francisco student Belén Candenas wrote an articulate essay on the subject and we are proud to share it on the CISL Blog. Congratulations, Belen!
