Middle School Principal’s Letter

Dear Parents,

First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming support and congratulations I’ve received since returning from Washington, DC. The award I received is a testament to the collective efforts of our entire CAC community. Your support and dedication have made this achievement possible. As I mentioned in my speech, there’s no other place I’d rather be than CAC—a community that is truly unique and special.

Next week, our students will embark on PRIME and Cairo-based trips, living out our school’s mission beyond the walls of our campus. These trips provide a valuable opportunity for students to bond with their peers and teachers, explore new environments, and learn in hands-on, enriching ways. We know this experience will help shape them physically and emotionally, fostering their independence and confidence. These moments in middle school have a lasting impact, and we are grateful to the parents for supporting these trips, allowing our students to explore the wonders of Cairo and Egypt.

While we understand that separation can be difficult for many parents, we encourage you to embrace this time, knowing that your child is having an incredible experience. Rest assured, when they return, they will have grown in many ways—coming back more independent, confident, and full of new stories and experiences.

I also want to acknowledge the hard work of our grade-six students. They’ve been making excellent progress with their transdisciplinary project, demonstrating great dedication to their research in preparation for the trip. Their efforts will undoubtedly enhance the meaningful connections they make with Luxor’s historical and cultural sights. We are proud of their commitment and look forward to the knowledge and insight they will gain from this amazing learning opportunity.

Thank you to the high school counseling team for organizing the University Fairs. It was a valuable experience for grade eighth students, who learned about different universities and the majors they offer. I know this will benefit the students in the long run.

Thank you all for your continued support and for making CAC an extraordinary place for our students to grow and thrive.

 

In Partnership,
Courtney Bailey
The Middle School Principal
