It’s been nearly four years in the making, and at last all 12 CAIS grades—P2 through 8th—are together on our new campus!

This historic day also represents our community coming together in the countless ways necessary to bring this about. Whether it was trustees planning details for the purchase and construction; families supporting philanthropically; teachers packing, unpacking, setting up, and resetting classrooms; or the dedicated faculty, facilities, and admin teams involved in getting us through inspections and licensing review, this process has been the brightest example of a group effort since our founding in 1981. 

There’s still more work to do, but it is no small feat that school opened as promised today, September 3, 2024. A huge round of applause to the entire Firedragon community! Feel proud about what we have accomplished together already and what this space means for our future!

Below are some scenes from a joyous and momentous Day One. See also the coverage in SF Examiner.
