Admission 招生信息

Welcome from the Office of Admission

First of all, a very warm welcome from the Admissions Office. We thank you for your interest in CAIS. There is a wealth of information on this website for you to peruse. Our Get to Know CAIS section contains some informative videos on various aspects of our program. Our admissions season is in full swing and we invite you to join us for a CAIS 101 event or Info Session.

Under challenging conditions, we continue to be thoughtful, deliberate and keep true to our mission. In preparing students for the complex world into which they will graduate, our dual language Chinese English immersion program continues to be “life changing. world changing.”

We know that the process of selecting a school for your child can be a daunting one, especially doing this virtually. We are here to help. An overview of the steps involved is available on the Admission Process page.

I do hope I will have the opportunity to meet you virtually. While it is not the same as meeting in person or attending a “live” tour or event, we will do our best to represent CAIS authentically to you. In the meantime we invite you to complete an online inquiry as a first step in your CAIS journey.

We look forward to sharing CAIS with you. Please do not hesitate to contact us at admission@cais.org. I would be happy to see you on Zoom, speak on the telephone, or communicate via email.

Warmly,

Linda Vann-Adibé | 温莲达
