Leadership
Greetings from Changchun American International School!
As we embark on the 2025-2026 academic year, it is with great excitement that we celebrate not only the beginning of a new chapter but also the remarkable milestone of our 20th anniversary! This year, we will culminate our celebrations on June 6, 2026, a day dedicated to honoring our journey and the vibrant community that makes our school truly exceptional. We remain committed to our mission and look forward to ensuring that passion permeates all our endeavors.
We continue to prioritize the integration of technology in our curriculum, ensuring that our students are equipped with the skills necessary to thrive in an ever-evolving world. Our commitment to innovation is reflected in our classrooms, where we utilize cutting-edge tools such as humanoid robotics to enhance learning experiences. This year, we will be taking full advantage of the new tools and resources in our amazing Tech Center that will continue to enhance learning and creativity in the classroom.
We are also proud to support our dynamic sports teams, where Tiger Pride embodies the spirit of teamwork, dedication, and excellence. Our athletes not only strive for greatness on the field but also develop character and resilience, representing our school with honor.
In addition to academics and athletics, the performing arts will again take center stage. Our talented students will have opportunities to express their creativity and showcase their abilities during our production of Romeo and Juliet culminating in a Masquerade Ball, enriching our school culture and fostering a sense of community.
Together, let's inspire our students to pursue their passions and make a positive impact in the world.
