Students at TAS have an incredible diversity of courses to choose from, beginning as early as lower school and continuing on through the upper school. From music to dance, art, technology and robotics, to humanities courses like debate, public speaking, and more, there is a seemingly endless number of courses from which each TAS student can create their own personal learning journey. Fall 2022 Communications Intern Erin W., '25 shares just some of the offerings within!

Many of our community members that are devoted to and passionate about surfing during their free time, and they mentioned that surfing not only allows them to see the beauty of this country, but also helps them plug into the community, both inside of the big TAS family as well as in the Taiwanese local community. There’s no better way to find out the connection between surfing and our lives at TAS than by speaking with two of our community members who are also active surfers in their free time, Carl Lochrin and Dan Robinson.
