Last week, G8 & G9 students stepped into new environments — and new challenges. On the ice, some hesitated at first. But step by step, with support from peers, they found the courage to move forward. At the climbing wall, students pushed themselves further, choosing to take on greater challenges each time. With proper guidance and safety in place, they explored, challenged, and grew. At TCS, learning happens when students choose to take that step — and reach a litt

【TCS Experiential Learning Friday | MS Experimental Exploration Week 1】
Last Friday, TCS Middle School welcomed the first Science Exploration Camp of the semester. In TCS’s Experiential Learning Friday (ELF) program, the science camp has always been one of the activities students look forward to the most. The first experiment was creating plaster finger molds. When plaster powder is mixed with water, the soft liquid slowly begins to harden and even releases a bit of heat. Students used their own hands to create plaster molds. As

【International Women’s Day at TCS Middle School | From Daily Life to History】
In the days leading up to International Women’s Day, TCS Middle School students explored gender topics through different learning experiences—connecting daily life, society, and history. In G7, what seemed like a simple board game became a discussion about shared household responsibilities. With the teacher’s guidance, the game gradually shifted from individual competition to teamwork, and students discovered that the game became much more enjoyable when they worked togeth

【TCS Future Leaders Winter Camp | Where Critical Thinking Can Be Fun】
From the course outline, this winter camp looked like an intensive training in public speaking and debate— the kind that might make students a little nervous at first. Clear schedules. Clear goals. Mornings focused on structured thinking and writing, while afternoons shifted into group discussions and debate. But once the class began, the atmosphere felt very different. With thoughtful guidance from the teaching team, complex ideas were broken down into challenges students

【TCS OAEP WEEK 4 | G10 Luoshan Forest Road + Youluo Mountain (2-Day Camping) 】
Before departure, many students carried few expectations, simply following the preparation step by step until the journey began. Accompanying the group, Nick observed subtle but meaningful changes along the way. He noted that the most visible growth came from students’ emotional resilience when facing challenges. For many, this was also their first experience travelling without washroom facilities— not only a physical discomfort, but a quiet mental adjustment. Remarkably
