Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week at KAS was a meaningful celebration of the people who make our community so special. Hosted and sponsored by the PTA, the week gave students the opportunity to share their gratitude through thoughtful messages, cookies, and drinks delivered to every teacher and staff member across campus. Thank you to our PTA for organizing such a heartfelt week of appreciation, and thank you to all of our teachers and staff for the care, dedication, and support you bring to KAS every day. #KASDragons #TeacherAppreciationWeek

Our Grade 5 students recently welcomed Mr. Jin-Zong Guo, Deputy Director General of the Urban Development Bureau for the Kaohsiung City Government, as part of their city design unit. As students work in groups to create their own cities, they’ve been exploring urban planning, sustainability, government, and what makes a city a great place to live. Mr. Guo shared how Kaohsiung is building for the future and encouraged students to remember the importance of public spaces like parks for people to enjoy. A meaningful opportunity for students to connect their classroom learning with the real world! #KASDragons #ExperientialLearning
