Parade of Flags Kicks Off TASIS International Week

Students from 47 of the 59 nations represented in the 2020–2021 TASIS student body were able to march in this year's parade, which was held outdoors on the morning of February 8 with a limited audience due to the current restrictions on large gatherings.

Faces of TASIS

The Faces of TASIS:
International Week Edition

Our student writers in the High School have carried out a fresh round of interviews—this time with a theme of internationalism. Learn where students are from, how they ended up at TASIS, how they feel when they return to their home countries, which countries their closest friends are from, and the degree to which they feel they've developed a global identity.

Celebrating 60 Years

"Not International Schools
but International Human Beings..."

When she founded TASIS in 1956, M. Crist Fleming dreamed of a place in which young people from all over the globe could gather, develop an appreciation for one another's cultures, and work together to make the world a safer and better place. In celebration of International Week, we offer a look back at a video that was inspired by her powerful words.
