Our Mission

As we celebrate 30 years at CAIS, we are proud to present our Mission Statement. When you read the Mission Statement below, you will notice there is no explicit grammatical subject. Who should embrace Chinese? Who should become his/her best self? Who should create his place in the world? The answer to these questions is all of us: Parents, faculty and staff, students, the Board of Trustees.
