Our first graders are loving their new school and making new friends! They're learning, playing, and having fun together every day as they settle into their new environment.

Second Grade All About Me Share! Students are getting to know each other better and building a strong classroom community by sharing family pictures, favorite stuffed animals, cards, toys, and more! What would you put in your All About Me Bag?

In-service Days carve out important time for professional development and intentional community building. This morning, our English and Chinese teams collaborated to enhance teachers’ own learning skills. Together, we’re channeling our Curiosity and Inclusion Firedragon Core Values!

“I was born and bred in Dalian, Liaoning, China. I love the opportunity to engage with young minds, help them to explore and grow, which brings immense joy and a sense of fulfillment to me. My library vision is to establish it as a community hub: the hub of learning, reading, research, discussion and collaboration. In my spare time, I love reading, playing music, cycling, swimming, and cuddling with my cat, Happiness. “The Pursuit of Happyness” is always on stage at home. I recently became a SUP (Stand-up Paddle Boarding) enthusiast. I cannot wait to meet our CAIS family!”

Seventh grade kayakers had an exciting adventure in Sausalito. Throughout the activity, students worked in pairs, learning to coordinate their paddling strokes to move their kayaks smoothly and efficiently.

Head of School Jeff Bissell and High School Transition Counselor Sean Mosconi met with Allie Murphy (Loomis Chaffee) and Cynthia Stahura (Choate) from the Ten Schools Admissions Organization, a group of top New England preparatory schools. Ms. Murphy and Ms. Stahura visited our campus Friday to interview prospective CAIS 8th grade applicants. The Ten Schools include Deerfield, St. Paul's, Choate Rosemary Hall, Loomis Chaffee, Phillips Exeter, Phillips Andover, Taft, Hotchkiss, Hill, and Lawrenceville.
