CAIS Sports & PE Philosophy

Firedragons Vision for Healthy Bodies Supporting Healthy Minds
火龙队对健康身体和健康心灵的愿景

Through the camaraderie, self discovery, and discipline of Sports and Physical Education, CAIS aims to teach lessons that students will carry with them through life, long after the final buzzer. Our understanding of the benefits and goals for Sports and Physical Education are rooted in our Core Values. They are touchstones guiding behavior for players, coaches, and fans alike.

Perseverance 毅力
(Pushing Ourselves & Sticking With It)  

Pursuing victory, but even more so self improvement, CAIS Sports and PE emphasize important life lessons about commitment, resilience, teamwork, and hard work. Focusing on these helps meet our mission to become our best selves and guarantees a win that endures no matter the score.

Courage 勇气
(Taking Risks and Responsibility)  

Recognizing that developmentally appropriate physical activity is good for building healthy bodies, minds, and communities; CAIS encourages all students to be well-rounded by participating in after-school sports and taking pride in the privilege and responsibility of representing our school community and our mission to embrace Chinese.

Curiosity 好奇
(Pioneering New Possibilities) 

Sports and PE cultivate a growth mindset by offering opportunities to explore one’s abilities in a supportive environment. CAIS Sports and PE offer a differentiated platform for kids to shine, excel, develop leadership and collaborative skills, and feel good about themselves by experiencing a different kind of success through a variety of sports. 

Inclusion 包容 
(Championing and Caring for Others in Our Community and Beyond) 

CAIS welcomes children of different skill and experience levels to participate in after-school sports. While winning is an important motivator for student athletes, values such as inclusivity, contribution, and doing one’s best should always remain top priorities.

Kindness 善良 
(Using Words and Actions to Support Ourselves and Others) 

CAIS Sports and PE keep focus on the holistic development of every student and are designed to foster positive attitudes toward self (including health, movement, and exercise) and others (sportsmanship and our mission to contribute to a better world). We strive for Firedragon players, coaches, and fans to be exemplars of fair play, honoring both the game and opponents by being humble in victory and gracious in defeat.
