The
Caribbean Association of Independent Schools is an organization
of 22 independent English-speaking schools in the Caribbean Basin.
It was formed in 1968 to assist in maintaining and improving the
educational standards and methods of member schools.
CAIS
is dedicated to supporting member schools through professional
development for teachers, administrators, trustees and parents.
CAIS provides a forum for sharing ideas, innovations, and successful
programs and practices for the improvement of our institutions,
which might otherwise be isolated by our island locations. While
each school proudly remains independent to serve it's unique community
and mission, CAIS seeks to promote coherence, commonality and
communication among its members.
We believe
in the value of independent education, providing:
- Support
and respect for our multiculturally diverse communities;
- Freedom
to innovate and develop enriched educational programs which
foster quality education;
- A safe
haven for students to grow at their own individual rates and
learning styles;
- Preparation
for students to be able to compete successfully at the highest
levels when they leave our schools;
- An orientation
to the future while maintaining a sense of tradition.
All
CAIS schools have admissions and hiring policies
which
are non-discriminatory.
