Our community's appreciation has grown for the importance of athletics in developing a well rounded person. This dovetails perfectly with the enormous opportunities in sports and PE that our new campus affords us. Recognizing this, we started getting ready a year in advance of our campus move by creating a Sports & PE Task Force in 2023-2024. These community stakeholders explored the question, “What role do sports and PE play in a CAIS education?”
Grounded in the school mission and core values, the resulting statement (“Firedragons Vision for Healthy Bodies Supporting Healthy Minds 火龙队对健康身体和健康心灵的愿景”, see below) reflects input from CAIS parents, coaches, faculty, students and recent alumni. Our Sports & PE Philosophy Statement is a framework for planning and decision making for our the programs. In addition to being posted prominently online and in our Ang Athletic Center, the statement has been shared directly with athletes, coaches, and team parents alike.
