May 2021

As we close this historic and extraordinary school year, I am filled with pride, gratitude, and humility. I am proud of all members of the TASIS community, particularly the students and teachers, for their fine accomplishments in the face of unprecedented challenges. I am grateful to all members of the community for their dedication to academic and personal growth, as well as safety, which helped secure the amazing successes of the year. Finally, when I think of the sacrifices and hardships endured here at home and around the world, I am humbled by our good fortune and providence in keeping our community together, safe, and fruitfully engaged the entire year. I wish everyone a wonderful, restorative summer, and I look forward to the future with the confidence that TASIS will continue to grow stronger as a community dedicated to the principles of truth, goodness, and beauty.
– TASIS Headmaster Christopher Nikoloff
