Chinese Program

Here are some highlights from this school year that illustrate how we work to lead the way in Mandarin immersion.

IS has a long history of being well represented at the National Chinese Language Conference (NCLC) and this year’s contingent was particularly robust!

CAIS hosted musicians from New Asia Chamber Music Society (including professional erhuist Andy Lin, who was our guest artist at Mass Greeting this year).

mportantly, the uplifted spirit that every single person is grounded with at CAIS. As the Year of Tiger is opening a new door for us to move forward as a school, it is amazing for me to reflect how far we’ve come just in my first 100 days at CAIS. I have attached below a short video consisting of one-second clips that are a quick record of these 100 days at CAIS. Enjoy and “see” you tomorrow!

First Grade Chinese Teacher Jing-Tyng (Teresa) Shyu was invited to speak at webinar hosted by Chinese Early Language and Immersion Network (CELIN) held in October.

In September we celebrate one of the most important festivals in Asian countries, 中秋节 (zhōng qiū jié), the Mid-Autumn Festival. When life threw us a curveball last year, our whole school demonstrated perseverance, courage and resilience by working hand in hand (though socially distanced, of course!) to respond to COVID regulations and requirements while supporting our students’ emotional well-being and offering them the best dual language education even in the face of such unprecedented circumstances.
