TASIS Dorado 2018 Annual Report

ANNUAL

REPORT A CULTURE OF GIVING “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

Winston Churchill

2018

WELCOME TEAMWORK & RESILIENCE 2018 was a year of extraordinary teamwork and resilience at TASIS Dorado. In the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, our school community united as never before. We joined forces to clean up and reopen the school, support our faculty and students, and serve many other communities around the island that were hit hard by the storm. We marveled at our teamwork and resilience and gave thanks for each person who sacrificed time and energy.

OUR MISSION TASIS Dorado challenges and nurtures students to pursue academic and personal excellence so that they become engaged global citizens and innovative, selfless leaders.

OUR VISION TASIS Dorado aspires to be a world-class school that transforms students’ lives through love of learning, beauty, truth, goodness and wisdom.

OUR VALUES TASIS Dorado instills in its students the values of courage, kindness, integrity, humility and a commitment to building

We are also immensely grateful for the many individuals who gave so generously to support our teachers and academic program. Notice the many names listed in the pages that follow. Two simple truths have motivated our school’s leaders, teachers, and parents: children deserve our best; and even the best schools cannot stand still.

The philosopher Alfred North Whitehead wrote, “Education is impossible without a habitual vision of greatness.” Our students need a compelling vision of academic and personal excellence and a strong sense of belonging to a caring community. Our teachers and staff seek to nurture and challenge each of our young scholars, so that they become engaged global citizens and innovative, selfless leaders.

In spite of the effects of Maria, we began this current school year with our largest enrollment ever -- over 850 students. They too are the evidence of our teamwork and resilience.

You make all this possible. Your support and gifts allow us to fulfill our exceptional mission to challenge students from diverse backgrounds to the highest standards of excellence. Thank you for joining us in the crucial task of educating our children and casting a compelling vision for the future.

With gratitude, Tim Howard, Ed.D. Headmaster

A few days after Maria, a parent commented to me, “This is the best school!” She was not referring to TASIS Dorado; rather, she was referring to what her children were learning in the aftermath of the hurricane. Children are seeing their parents as strong and capable.

Without access to the Internet or TV, children have been helping their parents mop up water, clean muck off the walls, and pick up debris. They have also been making new friends, riding their bikes, playing “hide and seek,” “freeze,” and other games. Neighbors have met more neighbors in one week than they have in five or ten years. These neighbors have been meeting for coffee in the mornings, tree-chopping in the afternoons, and dinners in the evenings. Parents tell me they’ve spent more quality time with their family in the past 12 days than in the past five years. These are indeed “silver linings” in our lives!
