This visit was a great opportunity for UTS to acquire useful suggestions and instructions from CIS evaluators – who have qualifications and experience in working with high-quality international schools and organizations. Moreover, this is also an important milestone for the UTS community to be able to comprehensively and pragmatically evaluate all the School’s drivers based on the CIS International Accreditation Framework. Accordingly, we can identify our strengths, and areas to improve and set clearer goals for the School’s development. We are committed to this challenging but exciting journey to CIS accreditation After this visit, UTS will enter a Self-study phase based on the evaluators’ report. The upcoming journey will be extremely important for the UTS community as we will continuously self-assess and improve specific areas to prepare for the next phase of Team

Knowing how to apply lessons to create useful products is the objective that educators have aimed to nurture each student. UTS Students not only applied the lessons well but also spread out the human values from their products in the “Applied Art Epoxy Resin” project for the Secondary level. UTS-ers have together successfully created jewelry and decorated items from Epoxy Resin such as bracelets, necklaces, key chains, and desk lamps… under the instruction of Art teachers. The highlight of this project is the craft fairs with all the value gained from here will be donated to charities. The project has created a chance for students to actively get involved in different roles and know more about fine art and visual art. Hopefully, within the approach that integrates with practical experience, UTS-ers can summarize the critical values and essential skills while working as a team.

Following the success of the previous academic year, the academic arena UTS Genius Olympiad has returned and revealed the answer to environmental problems. UTS Academic Council has had “generous” compliments for the possibility and the creativity of the attended project at UTS Genius Olympiad 2023. UTS-ers have confidentially stepped out of their comfort zone to turn their idea into reality. The final products such as reports with in-depth study, short films, and essays… have required our contestants to acquire specific academic knowledge and creative skills. After days of challenge, UTS would like to congrats these mentioned below projects with their outstanding achievements,  who have a chance to become the representatives of UTS to participate in the upcoming Genius Olympiad World Championship occurring in the USA. Hopefully, following these academic contests, UTS-ers can successfully investigate their hidden power and continue to promote the “Contribution” value – one of the six core values of UTS!  

  What worries parents the most when your child moves to the Primary school environment, having to adapt to many new things? Recently UTS have received many questions about how to help Grade 1 students adapt to new environments since they have to be exposed to completely new environment, new teachers, new friends as well as learning method comparing to their Preschool’s. It is easy to understand that anxiety of parents, Grade 1 is also the first year of your child’s school year. Moreover, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, our children had an online study semester at home. Although children have to study and communicate with friends through small screens, parents can still observe your children and they also study at home – an environment that is so familiar to them. In just a few days, the Grade 1 Students will go to school, and when they have to adapt themselves with the more serious academic environment, there will be no more parents or teachers as pampered as in Preschool. Understanding these concerns, UTS will help parents find the complete answer to the above question. Suitable environment Entering a new school after leaving the dear Preschool, our children will surely be surprised. When they were in preschool, the space surrounding them was colorful classrooms, visual supplies and a play area. In order to help them feel the closeness, love and less initial surprises, the preparation of the classroom before picking up Students to school is always prioritized by UTS and completed early. UTS teachers have devoted time and enthusiasm to preparing a environment to welcome Grade 1 Students with the hope of bringing a lively learning, living and attracting space associated with the knowledge that they will learn as letters, numbers, geometry, etc. This way of arranging classroom space will

“My happiness is blue featuring the color of the sky, the sea, and my favorite color!” “My happiness is when eating my mom’s dishes!” The happiness of the children, although a little naive, these simple things are the motivation for future talents to achieve the growth eventually. Today, UTS Botanique Campus has investigated more gripping dreams from children. Yesterday, parents and students had a wonderful time at “Wellbeing Day: Your happy languages”. The students acted as the “little artists” and immersed into the art space and together painted a meaningful drawing. Along with that, parents have explored more about Wellbeing and “pocketed” different methods to help children be happier in their lives. UTS believes that at the Botanique Campus “garden”, children with their families have grasped thoroughly “the happy languages” and had a great experience this weekend. Let’s capture today’s wonderful moments!
