🎉 End-of-Year Celebration As another school year comes to a close, the KAS community gathered to celebrate the people who make our school such a special place. The evening was filled with reflection, appreciation, and memories as we recognized the dedication of our faculty and staff and said goodbye to many beloved educators, including our principals Jim Laney, Kimberly Clark, Chelsea Armstrong, and Shan Ahmed. While farewells are never easy, we are grateful for the impact these educators have had on our students, families, and community. Thank you for the years of service, leadership, and support you have given to KAS. You will always be part of the Dragon family. #KASDragons #KASCommunity

🎓 It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a year since the Class of 2025 graduated from KAS.

Now, with the Class of 2026 graduating next week, it’s a reminder of just how quickly these years go by. 🐉 #KASClassOf2025 #KASDragons

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
