Remarks from our Head of School

March 24, 2023

Greetings from Taiwan! We (Mr. Ray, myself and eight of our high schoolers) are enjoying our trip immensely. We love the delicious food (especially the famous milk tea), warm hospitality, beautiful scenery, but even more, the cultural and art exchange. We will give you a more detailed report when we come back. Take care!

Psst, it’s Mr. Brian, hijacking this section to wish Dr. Sherry, Mr. Ray, and our high schoolers a wonderful trip to Taiwan! They will do some arts but mostly sightsee and go to night markets and eat delicious foods and have lots of fun… I swear I’m green today for St. Patrick’s day and not from envy. I swear.Anyways, Bon Voyage!

March 10, 2023

Greetings everyone!

Many of our high school students are excited as they will embark on their first trip to Taiwan next week! It is an arts and cultural exchange with Niao Song, an arts middle and high school in Taiwan. This trip marks the beginning of a long journey that we will embark on together, bringing traditional arts and universal values to the world. I cannot wait to see the endless possibilities that will come out of our joint efforts to promote creativity and cultural understanding.

Greetings everyone!

We had our Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) mid-cycle visit last week. The visiting committee (consisting of two experienced Heads of School) was highly impressed with our school’s progress in the past three years. We have accomplished a lot amidst the pandemic.  Let’s be proud of our achievements!

It is wonderful to see hard work get rewarded!

Go Phoenix!

Jan 27 – Remarks from our Head of School

Greetings everyone!

Bring Joy and Happiness to All People
People have asked what our students do to help the community. Each student completes dozens of hours of community service each year. Some of those hours include performances and art exhibitions. That’s something unique our students contribute to the community, combining our duty to give back and our desire to share our arts with those around us. It touches the hearts of children and adults, especially our seniors. Audiences are often moved to tears. We need more of that during these challenging times, and I’m proud of every single one of our students! Go Phoenix!

Jan 13 – Remarks from our Head of School

Welcome back everyone!

Crazy weather we’re having, am I right? I’m happy to say that despite mother nature’s recent tantrums, our school has remained open for our families who braved the storm to attend classes as normal. But for all those who feel it is not safe, please stay safe and remain at home and our teachers will find ways to accommodate and get you the work to keep up.

All in all, we’re just so happy to see everyone back at school, in classes, in uniforms, engaging in the art that they love. Let’s stay passionate and work hard to achieve even greater successes this coming semester! Go Phoenix!
