On October 2021, CAIS embarked on a transformative journey to convert the former Mercy High School campus into a beacon of Chinese immersion education for children from preschool to 8th grade.
Thanks to the generosity of our leadership donors, ShowCAIS Fund-A-Need donors, and Firedragons’ Week of Giving donors, we raised $17M to Build Our Forever Home!
This campaign raised the necessary funds to build a place where our kids can thrive and our school can take Mandarin immersion education to a new level. What we have accomplished together is a testament to our community’s commitment to strengthening our school and turning dreams into reality.
We would like to give special thanks to our committed Board of Trustees and generous leadership donors (listed below), who helped us achieve our goal.
