Join us for a special episode of The CAIS Podcast as we sit down with Ms. Catherine Chou, a proud alumna and Projects Coordinator at CAIS, who also serves on the Board. What makes this conversation unique? Ms. Catherine was part of the very first class of seven students when CAIS opened its doors in 2006—and now she's back to help shape its future!

In this heartfelt and insightful episode, Ms. Catherine shares:

🎓 Her remarkable journey—from CAIS student to NYU and Columbia graduate, and finally back to her alma mater as a leader.

🏫 The founding story of CAIS—how her parents, Mr. Daniel Chou and Mrs. Irene Chu, created the school to provide international education to the Changchun community, starting with just seven students (including her and her brother, Christopher!).

🌍 What makes CAIS unique—from its globally diverse student body (30+ nationalities!) to its pioneering role in educational technology.

🚀 The school's bold vision—becoming a regional hub for education and innovation in the next five years.

Tune in to discover how one school's humble beginnings grew into something extraordinary—and where it's headed next!
