It was wonderful to see all the students return to KSS today! Students from the youngest to the oldest flooded onto campus today and celebrated the new school year in a series of opening celebrations for elementary, middle school, and high school. Teachers and students all dressed in their finest up made the day seem that much more special for the start of the new school year.

Our school Headmaster, Dr. Peter Tsai, enjoyed welcoming us back to school.
It was also a great time for the students to meet the teachers. Some of them are new teachers, but all of them had the opportunity to share about summer activities and offer words of wisdom for the students as they begin this new school year.
We also took time to go over the new formulation of our KSS core values. We transitioned from SERVE to TRUTH. The first T in Truth is for being transformed by the renewing of our minds. The R is for the Rigorous Academics that we will study this year. The U is for the Unity of learning together in our KSS community. The second T is for Twined which refers to how we are made stronger by combining our heritage with new experiences of learning about global issues and cultures around the world. H is for the Holistic way that we learn at KSS. We do not just study academic content, but we seek a balanced model of leaning that combines academic, spiritual, emotional, social, and physical learning.
