Our Mission
| 中美国际学校的目的在培养每个人 拥抱中华 成为最好的自我 为更美好的世界贡献自己的能力 |
At CAIS, we are committed to inspiring and empowering learners to: Embrace Chinese Become our best selves Contribute to a better world |
The CAIS mission is a call to action for all community members—students, staff, parents, alumni families and the Board of Trustees. It reflects both the vision of our school’s pioneering founders and the school’s responsibility to prepare students for the world into which they will graduate. If you take a walk around our school, you will find that our mission is alive everywhere.
Head of School Jeff Bissell announced this updated mission in a message to the entire CAIS community, including families, faculty, and trustees past and present.
修身、齐家、治国、平天下
“Cultivate the individual, regulate the family, govern the state, bring about world peace”
—The Great Learning
(Han Dynasty Confucian text)
The wisdom of this leads directly to CAIS’s “Life changing. World changing.” vision.
