Middle School

CAISL’s theater came alive recently for a memorable Spring Concert featuring performances by our talented Secondary School musicians. The evening showcased the artistry and dedication of our Middle School Choir, High School Choir, Varsity Choir, Intermediate Orchestra, and Advanced Orchestra, who delivered a wonderful celebration of music, community, and school spirit.
This year’s concert held special significance as part of CAISL’s 70th anniversary celebrations. In honor of this milestone, students performed a thoughtfully curated selection of songs representing each decade since the school’s founding in 1956. The program offered a musical journey through time, highlighting the rich history of CAISL while celebrating the enduring power of the performing arts to connect generations.
We are incredibly proud of our student performers and grateful to our music faculty for their guidance, dedication, and vision in bringing this meaningful event to life. The Spring Concert was a beautiful reflection of CAISL’s vibrant arts program and a fitting tribute to 70 years of learning, creativity, and community.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special evening and helped make it such a memorable celebration.

On May 27th, CAISL's Grade 8 students showcased the remarkable results of their Human Impact Projects during a successful symposium that brought our entire community together. As part of this UN-sponsored initiative, our students took on the role of consultants, diving deep into research on the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals and emerging as growing experts in their chosen fields. This project-based learning experience integrated four subject areas — Math, Science, Social Studies, and English — with the Math component focusing on exponents and scientific notation to explore extreme numbers in our world. Throughout the morning, they shared not only their compelling discoveries but also the mathematics and innovative solutions behind their research — demonstrating critical thinking and global awareness that went far beyond the classroom. Parents, staff members, and Grade 6 students filled the room, offering enthusiastic support and, most importantly, signing letters of endorsement that will be sent directly to the United Nations to amplify our students' voices on the world stage. It was a powerful reminder of what our CAISL community can achieve when we work together toward meaningful change, and we couldn't be prouder of these young changemakers.
