Wrapping Up the First Semester and Welcoming 2025

Wrapping Up the First Semester and Welcoming 2025

Written by Ms. Ryan

As we approach the end of the first semester at CIA, we want to take a moment to reflect on an incredible few months filled with growth, learning, and achievement. This week also marked the start of the New Year—welcome to 2025!

To all our students: thank you for your hard work and dedication this semester. Your efforts in the classroom, during group activities, and in extracurricular programs have been inspiring. Whether you were tackling challenging subjects, participating in school events, or working together on projects, you’ve shown remarkable commitment and determination.

With the Chinese New Year just around the corner, it’s time to take a well-deserved winter break. We encourage all of our students to rest, recharge, and spend quality time with family and friends. This is also a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the past year and set goals for the one ahead.

As we step into 2025, we look forward to even more exciting opportunities for learning and collaboration. The second semester promises new challenges, events, and programs that will help you continue to grow and succeed.

From everyone at CIA, we wish you a joyous Chinese New Year and a happy, healthy 2025. Let’s make this year a memorable one!

Enjoy your winter break, and we’ll see you in the second semester, ready to achieve even greater things!
