"Second grade coders are enthusiastically beginning their CAIS coding journey! In our first unit, students are practicing applying sequences in the Kodable app,” Ms. Willa shares.

Fourth grade is having a fantastic time building our classroom community, establishing routines, working together as a team, and enjoying some fun games.

We hope everyone had a fantastic time trick-or-treating! ✨

Eighth graders had a blast exploring collisions! They experimented with different materials and forces to see just how much "damage" they could create. It was a hands-on adventure in physics—science has never been so action-packed!

Spooktacular fun this morning at our Whole School Halloween Parade! 🎃👻 Students and staff came together in their most creative costumes, celebrating the spirit of Halloween with joy and creativity!

Middle school students are ready for Halloween! 🎃 They started the celebrations with costumes and a pumpkin carving contest, where each advisory group used their creativity to carve unique designs. Our students are all set to bring the Halloween spirit to CAIS!

#ChooseCAIS Our Family: "Tien-An & Elliott (2nd grade)” Why CAIS: "I wanted to prioritize bilingual education as a part of his everyday experience (not just a few hours a week the way Chinese School works in a lot of places). Also I knew several other CAIS families that spoke highly of the school and once I visited, I knew it would be a good fit for Elliott.” What does the CAIS community mean to you: "The CAIS community has been a huge part of why we are so committed to the school. I knew that the teachers and academic environment would be wonderful, but I've been blown away by how the parents have come together to support each other and their kids to give everyone a fulfilling and vibrant experience.”

Our community's appreciation has grown for the importance of athletics in developing a well rounded person. This dovetails perfectly with the enormous opportunities in sports and PE that our new campus affords us. Recognizing this, we started getting ready a year in advance of our campus move by creating a Sports & PE Task Force in 2023-2024. These community stakeholders explored the question, “What role do sports and PE play in a CAIS education?” Grounded in the school mission and core values, the resulting statement (“Firedragons Vision for Healthy Bodies Supporting Healthy Minds 火龙队对健康身体和健康心灵的愿景”, see below) reflects input from CAIS parents, coaches, faculty, students and recent alumni. Our Sports & PE Philosophy Statement is a framework for planning and decision making for our the programs. In addition to being posted prominently online and in our Ang Athletic Center, the statement has been shared directly with athletes, coaches, and team parents alike.
