Please join us on the TASIS YouTube channel at 11:00 AM on Saturday, May 30, as we celebrate the amazing Class of 2020 with a virtual Commencement Ceremony that will include the presentation of graduation awards and diplomas, musical performances, speeches, and more. Although we wish we could gather together on campus for this momentous occasion, we are determined to honor the achievements of our 64th graduating class, and we know you will enjoy the ceremony. We will send more details as the date approaches.
Please know that we also intend to honor the Class of 2020 with a live event at a date to be determined later.
"The character that our seniors have shown during this difficult time only speaks more highly of their extraordinary contributions to TASIS and of their inevitably bright future as TASIS alumni."
