Chinese American International School

The Chinese American International School (CAIS) is an independent, PreK-8^th grade school in San Francisco, CA. CAIS was founded in 1981 with an enrollment of just ten students; CAIS now enrolls nearly 500 students from PreK through 8^th grade. CAIS’s commitment to dual language and dual culture education, international mindedness and diversity of every sort has remained at the core of our vision and educational program. We are proud of our leading role in preparing culturally sensitive, globally literate young people with a high level of proficiency in Chinese for the world that awaits them.
