Community Life

As a boarding school which draws students from across the globe, community life is especially interesting at TASIS. Students and faculty work together in a variety of ways outside of academic life to build the close relationships that are central to developing and nurturing the community. Through the many nonacademic activities offered at the School, students have the opportunity to develop and explore other talents and interests as well as experiencing the fun and difficulties of growing up in company with others their own age.

TASIS is, however, more than teaching traditions and developing cultural understanding. When young people from different backgrounds really get to know each other, as they do at TASIS, something marvelous happens: prejudices break down, barriers of ignorance are crossed, and a community that transcends political and national boundaries is formed.
