Fostering Curious Minds Since 1968

CIIS was founded in 1968 as a small institute with a big vision: to give people of all backgrounds and beliefs the opportunity to transform self, society, and earth through an integral education and evolution of consciousness. For 55 years, that bold and courageous confidence in the potential for human flourishing has been renewed with each graduating class.

Through the generous enthusiasm, financial support, social engagement, and commitment of alumni, families, friends, partners, and corporations, CIIS continues to be a beacon for transformative integral education and a truly special community long after graduation.
