Welcome to the CISB Parent’s Association of 2025-2026

The 2025/2026 school year marks Catherine’s sixth year as a CISB parent and her fifth year serving on the Parent Association committee. Over the years, she has contributed in various roles, including Early Years (EY) Representative and Treasurer. Catherine is passionate about fostering a strong school-family connection, recognizing its essential role in a child’s development, and hopes the Parent Association continues to play a meaningful part in this effort.

Beyond CISB, Catherine is a global ambassador for her alma mater, the University of British Columbia, where she actively participates in alumni outreach initiatives. Professionally, she brings over two decades of experience in real estate finance and currently serves as the APAC Head of Real Estate Finance for a Houston-based investment management firm.

My children have been attending CISB since 2010, and I am proud to say that this marks my 16th year as a CISB parent. After graduating from Beijing Normal University with a Master of Education degree, I worked at the International Exchange Office of Beijing University of Technology.

I have been a PA member ever since the Parent Association was founded in 2014. Collaborating with fellow members has been an incredibly enriching and enjoyable experience. Moreover, participating in school activities serves as an excellent way for me to gain a deeper understanding of the school’s educational philosophy and practices.

I’m Mike, I currently run an educational company and previously worked for 4-5 years in. banks and financial institutions. As a parent, I recognize the importance of balancing work and family, and I am committed to spending more time supporting my child’s learning and growth. Through my involvement with the Parent Association, I hope to share my experiences and support other families who may face similar challenges.

I served as a naval officer aboard an aircraft carrier, an experience that shaped my discipline, resilience, and teamwork. Later, I worked as a mechanical engineer in an international factory, where I developed strong technical and problem-solving skills. Now, as a CISB parent, my goal is to encourage more families to engage actively with the school. I believe that open communication and collaboration between parents and the school will help create a stronger, more supportive environment for all children.

Ms. Guo Yi is the mother of two girls who joined CISB this year. She studied in Germany and Austria, and for 13 years served as General Manager of a German company in China. She is also the co-founder of Guru Longevity, a company dedicated to helping people live younger, healthier, and longer.

This is my fifth year as the ES Parent Representative. Originally from Hong Kong, I relocated to Beijing more than ten years ago. Professionally, I have worked as an investment banker and currently practice law, but the most important and rewarding role I’ve ever had is being a mother!

My name is AiLi, and I have been part of CISB for ten years. It’s my pleasure to be a part of the Parent Executive Committee as the Middle School Representative. Originally from Singapore, I now call China my home. I’m committed to fostering strong relationships and a warm, inclusive community where parents and the school work hand-in-hand to support our children’s growth. I look forward to connecting with many of you at upcoming events and working together to make this a fantastic year.

A homemaker by choice, I dream of weaving magic into the lives of children who aspire to achieve great things in the future. As a parent at CISB, I look forward to supporting the school community and encouraging students to reach their full potential.
