As the semester drew to a close and Lunar New Year approached, last Friday at TCS was not just about preparing for the holiday. 󠀠 Through interdisciplinary, hands-on experiential activities and mixed-age collaboration, students engaged with Lunar New Year traditions while building meaningful learning experiences. 󠀠 For this activity, students from different grade levels were regrouped into four mixed-age teams and rotated through four themed stations. 󠀠 Station 1｜Pipe Clea

At first, students were simply excited to get on the bus. Soon, they realized this field trip was something different. 󠀠 From exploring plants and insects during the ecological tour to high-energy physical challenges—and the much-anticipated pellet gun battle— the day was filled with surprises. 󠀠 Lunchtime brought another highlight. Lucas and Morgen’s cooking skills truly stood out, leaving everyone genuinely impressed. 󠀠 With humour and energy, the coaching team guided st

󠀠 Before the actual departure, there was hesitation. And in the moment the choice was made, the journey had already begun. 󠀠 At around 8:30 a.m., everyone gathered at TCS— checking gear, repacking, bringing classroom preparation into real focus. 󠀠 This OAEP expedition was led by a professional outdoor education team headed by Assistant Professor Hsiao Ju-Hsuan, with Founder Andy joining the journey and walking alongside the students. 󠀠 The convoy then set off. Some slept.

During the first half of the semester, Grade 10 students explored industries and careers they were interested in. 󠀠 At midterm, they shared their ideas with peers and teachers at the Career Life Fair, taking their first step in expressing the future they imagined. 󠀠 By the end of the semester, learning moved one step further through a mock interview experience. Students were invited to consider what it would really take to pursue a role connected to their career goals—how t

Can you imagine this? By setting aside just NTD 66 a day, students can begin building their own Golden Goose Plan—and start thinking about their future 󠀠 In our G7 Board Game Finance Literacy Workshop, TCS was delighted to welcome well-known family finance educator Julian Li (Yanqing Li). Through thoughtfully designed board games, students learned how to make choices, plan ahead, and understand the relationship between money and real life. 󠀠 Throughout the day, students wor

On January 9, the final week before departure began. And this OAEP journey had already become a challenge—long before the mountain. 󠀠󠀠 In the classroom, it’s not just about gear and routes, but the quiet inner struggle: “Am I really able to get through this?” 󠀠󠀠 For first-time G10 students, teachers begin with mindset— helping them voice their fears, unpack the unknown, and gradually understand the environment, weather, and risks ahead. 󠀠󠀠 For experienced G11 students,

In last Friday’s Life Design Lab, specially designed for our Grade 9 students, learning began with self-understanding—planting the first seed for the future. 󠀠 The session opened with a simple yet powerful metaphor: the future we imagine is often filled with uncertainty and confusion, but the future we actually live is built step by step, starting from the present. 󠀠 Through group activities and dream board creation, students explored what they enjoy, what they value, the k

This AI Statistical Thinking course was led by Yi-Yuan Lee, PhD, and had been taught to G9 students the week before. 󠀠At first glance, it might sound like a course that is highly technical and academically distant. But once you step into the classroom, the experience feels entirely different. 󠀠 While the core topic remained the same, the lesson was thoughtfully adapted to suit students’ learning styles. 󠀠 Compared to the more steady G9 group, the G8 class featured shorter

This visit to the Taoyuan Public Library became a journey of slow discovery. Students moved through the space—from the Green Spiral and reading areas to themed shelves and quiet corners. 󠀠 One highlight was the exhibition Rediscovering Taiwan: Chen Cheng-po’s 130th Birthday Anniversary Exhibition, where students paused to observe colour, composition, and the stories rooted in land and history. 󠀠 The open atrium, known as the “Tree of Life,” left a strong impression. In a sp

This G9 AI Statistical Thinking session looked very different from a traditional math or statistics class. Instead of long formula-based instruction or fixed answers, learning took place through a series of logic-based games that emphasized thinking, strategy, and choice. 󠀠 Each activity required teamwork, discussion, and real-time decision-making. Students worked with limited information and time, evaluating risk, adjusting strategies, and explaining the reasoning behind th
