🌟 Future Leaders Program | Summer Internship Spotlight This summer, KAS students stepped beyond the classroom and into professional workplaces through our Future Leaders Program (FLP), gaining valuable hands-on experience while exploring future career paths. These are just two of the many internship opportunities our students participated in this summer. At Kaohsiung Medical University (KMU), students built foundational laboratory skills through hands-on research, learning techniques such as PCR, ELISA, Western Blotting, tissue processing, and cell staining, while also participating in literature reviews, data analysis, and laboratory meetings. Students also interned with HD Renewable Energy and Star Electronics, where they worked across the Business, Engineering, and Legal divisions. From supporting business initiatives and learning about renewable energy projects to gaining insight into international legal operations, students experienced firsthand how different teams collaborate within a global company. We’re excited to continue sharing more of our students’ internship experiences from this past summer! #KASDragons #FutureLeadersProgram #FLP #SummerInternship

Last week, our middle school students came together to celebrate the Middle School Move-Up Ceremony. 🎉 The event featured touching speeches, memorable performances, and plenty of moments to reflect on a year of growth and achievement. For our Grade 8 students, it was a chance to celebrate their middle school journey before taking the next step into high school. We’re excited to see what they accomplish in the years ahead. We’d also like to thank Ms. Chelsea Armstrong for her leadership and commitment to the middle school community. As she leaves KAS this year, we wish her all the best and thank her for all she has done for our students and families. 💙 #KAS #KASMiddleSchool #MoveUpCeremony

Last week, our elementary students gathered to celebrate a special milestone at the Elementary Move-Up Ceremony. 🎉 For our Grade 5 students, the ceremony marked the end of their elementary years and the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Throughout the year, they’ve been preparing for middle school—building new skills, taking on greater responsibilities, and growing in confidence. We know they’re more than ready for what comes next. Congratulations to all of our elementary students on a fantastic year of learning and growth. We hope you enjoy a well-deserved summer break, and we look forward to welcoming you back next year! We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mr. Shan Ahmed for his leadership, dedication, and care for our elementary community. As he departs KAS this year, we wish him all the best in his next chapter and thank him for the lasting impact he has made on our students, staff, and families. #KAS #KASElementary #MoveUpCeremony

🎓 Senior Send-Off One of KAS’s most cherished traditions is the Senior Send-Off, when our entire community comes together to celebrate and bid farewell to the graduating class. Last Thursday was that day. As seniors made their way through campus one final time, they were cheered on by students, teachers, and staff who lined the halls to celebrate their journey and wish them well for what lies ahead. It was a special moment of reflection, gratitude, and pride—not only for our seniors, but for the community that has supported them along the way. Class of 2026, thank you for the memories and spirit you’ve brought to KAS. We can’t wait to see where your next chapter takes you. #KASDragons #SeniorSendOff #ClassOf2026

The Class of 2026 has officially graduated. 🎓 Today, we celebrated not only a remarkable achievement, but also the journey that brought our seniors to this moment.

As they take the next step toward universities and opportunities around the world, we are proud of all they have accomplished and excited to see the impact they will make in the future. Congratulations, Class of 2026—we can’t wait to see where your journey takes you next.
