Dear TASIS Community, We owe an immense debt of gratitude to our teachers, students, and parents for their enormous efforts over the past three weeks as we have made this unprecedented transition to distance learning. I sincerely hope you are all able to enjoy some rest and time with family as we begin a very well-deserved spring holiday. I know that our days continue to be defined by unease and uncertainty, but I believe that the only choice we have in these trying times is to push forward with the care and dedication we have shown to date. Your words and actions have shown me time and again that you believe this as well. The TASIS spirit remains as strong as ever. And as you will see in the video below, although we may be far apart, our community has never been closer. Wishing you all the very best, Christopher Nikoloff TASIS Headmaster We asked students and teachers to let us know how they are handling the transition to distance learning and to share any messages they have for the TASIS community. Thank you very much to everyone who contributed to this video!
