With Winter Break upon us and, as we say good bye to 2019 and welcome in 2020, we would like to take this opportunity to reflect on the year that is coming to an close and especially note some points that have been of major importance to us:  

Since the beginning of the year, we have not only discussed but exposed the level of Bullying that has been occurring  and it has been a subject we have addressed countless times with our students and community and we will keep on addressing it in the next trimesters to come until we reach Zero harassment in all its forms. 

At CAS, our students are passionate about their engagements and their commitments to others outside the school walls. So far, the Student Council, People to People, National Honor Society, Junior Core Africa, among others, have raised and collected considerable amounts of donations for multiple charities and associations. We are most proud of our young advocates, and we will keep encouraging them in their Humanitarian efforts. 

Indeed it takes a huge commitment to be who we are and to reach where we have arrived presently. One of the most important ingredients to achieve this goal is our parents' presence in their children’s academic and social life, to celebrate their achievements and strengths and to improve their weaknesses and their skills. Our athletic Department has been enhanced this trimester with the many trophies it has been harvesting and the ASA program is attracting more and more students.  

These are just some points we wanted to share once again with you.  2020 is already overbooked with the visit, in January of Ms. Lamiae Safieddine-Delapierre who will spend a week  with the Arabic teachers as a consultant , Chris Roose who will audit us on our security plans and measures and provide us with some guidelines, the OGA during which we will have time to discuss at length our achievements and our areas of improvements, and finally the visit of Astronaut, Ricky Arnold, in March. 

Finally, as we extend our best wishes for a Merry Christmas to our Christian staff and members of our community and a Happy New Year to everyone, please note our Admissions have started and, if you know of any parents who would be a great fit to our school, please encourage them to deposit their applications as early as possible in January to secure a seat for their children. 

Have an enjoyable winter break and we are looking forward to continuing our journey together with all of you in 2020.
