Does CAISL have a religious affiliation?

CAISL is a non-sectarian school and students and teachers come from many different countries and ethnic ancestries, races, and religions. The school community will go beyond tolerance to treasure differences and look upon them as an opportunity for learning which will enrich each individual and promote personal growth. Students will be taught about religion as part of their studies of art, music, literature, history, social studies, and other academic disciplines where religious influences are apparent.

Each member of the CAISL community, whether students, parents, or employees, has the right to his/her personal expression of religion. They are prohibited from encouraging or soliciting religious or anti-religious activity. The school will not discriminate or withhold any privileges based on a person’s religion. The school will not tolerate discrimination or harassment based on a person’s religion by any member of the community, student, teacher, parent, or visitor on the premises or at events sponsored by the school.

Does CAISL require uniforms?

CAISL does not have a uniform; however, there is a dress code for students. The dress code for students requires that their attire be neat, clean, in good repair, modest, respectful and safe. Shoes must have a backstrap. We expect students to come to school appropriately dressed and to adhere to the standards of dress adequate for a multicultural school environment. For certain special events, students may be asked to dress in a more formal manner. For more specific information regarding CAISL' s dress code, please see the Elementary Student-Parent Handbook, the Middle School Student-Parent Handbook or the High School Student-Parent Handbook.

How can parents get involved at CAISL?

All CAISL parents are automatically members of the CAISL Parent Support Group (PSG), and are welcome to come to regular PSG meetings and/or specific event planning meetings.

More information about CAISL's PSG can be found here; scheduled PSG meetings are on the Calendar of Events.
