🌟 What does it take to turn an idea into real-world impact? For KAS alum Charlene Liu, it began with leadership skills she developed in high school and a passion for helping others. Today, she’s the founder of VYVA (Vancouver Young Volunteer Association), creating opportunities for youth to gain real-world experience through community service. We’re proud to celebrate Charlene’s journey and the difference she’s making beyond KAS. 🐉 #KASAlumni #RealWorldLearning #YouthLeadership #DragonPride #AlumniSpotlight

As part of their Beliefs and Values unit, our Grade 4 students explored how values shape communities — and noticed that our KAS values weren’t clearly visible around campus. So, they decided to take action! 💪 Through gallery walks and interviews — including a special chat with Head of School Mr. Laney — students discovered what each value truly means to our community. Then, they brought those ideas to life by designing signs in Art and creating projects in STEAM, making Belonging, Personalized Learning, Stewardship, Well-being, and Excellence visible for all to see. #KASDragons #KASValues #StudentVoice #KASCommunity #LearningInAction

Shipbuilding Challenge ⛵️ As part of their Explorers unit, our Grade 5 students became shipbuilders! Each group researched a type of ship and spent six weeks in Makerspace designing and constructing their own from cardboard and other available materials. Their ships had to meet real design challenges — 100cm x 50cm in size, able to float, carry “cargo,” and stay upright in water for five minutes. Through this project, our young explorers showcased creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving as they brought their ideas to life! 🌊⚙️ #KASDragons #Grade5 #KASLearning #Makerspace #HandsOnLearning #STEMEducation

All About Me: End-of-Unit Celebration 🎉 What a joyful, student-led celebration!

Each student’s work reflected their unique personality and growth, from the thoughtful details in their books to their creative life-size self-portraits. We’re so proud to see them shine and tell their stories with such confidence and pride! 💛 #KASDragons #EarlyLearning #StudentLedLearning #AllAboutMe #KASEarlyYears #高雄美國學校
