Daily life details and school culture

Food Options

CAIS will not open with a cafeteria. Hot lunches are delivered to the school by two or three vendors. Online lunch ordering is available.

Governance and Ownership

CAIS is governed by a Board of Trustees. The Board formulates long-term policy and direction and communicates that to the head of school and the administration. The Board comprises current and former parents as well as community members and meets no fewer than eight times a year. CAIS owns the 19th Avenue campus; ownership was transferred to CAIS in October 2021 in a closing with the Sisters of Mercy. CAIS collaborated with Oak Campus partners French American International School and NCIS during that transition.
