ASHK “Week Without Walls” to Sabah ASHK Middle School students traveled last week with Mr. Cohen and Ms. Nicholas to the Kiulu Valley in Sabah, approximately one hour inland from Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia. ASHK co-sponsored the trip with Adventure Tours, using The Adventure Centre (TAC) as their base in Sabah. The program emphasized personal development, which was achieved through a combination of individual and team challenges and adventures, while giving students the opportunity to experience the local culture and geography. In addition, ASHK students engaged in community service activities, where they assisted with the construction of a covered seating area for a sports pitch at Rangalau Lama village school, and repainted part of the school that was suffering from the effects of extreme tropical weather. We are very proud of our 2017 Middle School students as they represent the first group to participate in a “Week Without Walls” trip! #ashk #theadventurecentre #middleschool #communityservice

All ASHK parents are welcome to join the Family Picnic and Movie Afternoon this Thursday 😍

Thanksgiving Day @ ASHK On the fourth Thursday of November in the United States, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. It originated as a harvest festival, but is now the biggest celebration of family and friendships. It was during the American Civil War that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed it a national holiday. Together with Christmas and the New Year, Thanksgiving is a part of the broader fall/winter holiday season in the U.S. As an American School, we celebrate Thanksgiving as well. This year, all ASHK parents are invited to pack a picnic lunch and join your child/ren in celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 23 at 11:30 am. Parents are invited to stay for the movie that follows the picnic and/or to attend the social for parents which runs simultaneously.

Our new whole school photo with Hope!

Box of Hope is an annual charity project aimed at providing useful/educational gifts for underprivileged children in Hong Kong & Asia donated by Hong Kong school children and local organizations. To encourage our students to be caring and responsible global citizens, ASHK, with support from our Parents' Association, will be collecting Box of Hope from November 6 to 10. Please fill your old boxes with new interesting and educational gifts and send to the School General Office on/before this Friday. The boxes are then delivered directly to the children in need. Some of these children have never received a gift. Your small gift will bring a big smile on their faces. 😁😁😁 Learn more: http://www.boxofhope.org/home/main/en/ #ashk #boxofhope #charity

ASHK Hosts Global Ed. D. Candidates from The University of Southern California (USC) The USC Global Ed. D. Program recruits students from around the world to prepare them to be educational leaders in their home country. The program is hybrid, with on-line experiences and in-person classes in various international locations. While in Hong Kong, the doctoral candidates were taking two parallel classes on finance and organization of schools. We were delighted with the opportunity to host the group and, while here, our School Director, John Jalsevac, gave a presentation on the various logistical and strategic planning initiatives associated with starting a new K - 12 school. ASHK intends to strengthen relationships and build partnerships with highly selective overseas universities. #universityofsoutherncalifornia #globaleducation #educationalleader
