Arts Showcase 2026

There was a devised performance by our IB juniors followed by world theatre tradition presentations and two additional collaborative performances from our seniors in the Lyric Stage Theater where the staff were incredibly helpful with our Showcase event.

The gallery showcased students' experiments with acrylic paint and a body of their independent work. Our IB students mingled with underclassmen to engage with them about the work and discuss their process. (Reported by Mr. Sullivan)

Highlights of Taiwan Trip 2026

10 students led by Ms.Cai and Mr. Etienne visited Taiwan during Spring break 2026.

Throughout the trip, students engaged in a wide range of meaningful and immersive experiences. They participated in school visits and cultural exchanges with Taiwanese students, learned traditional Chinese qigong, and gained a deeper understanding of Taiwan’s rich heritage through visits to Indigenous villages. Their cultural immersion continued through exploring iconic landmarks such as Sun Moon Lake, Taipei 101, National Palace Museum, and Taipei Zoo, while also enjoying authentic food experiences, including soup dumplings and other traditional local dishes.

It was especially rewarding to see students step outside of the classroom and use their Chinese in authentic, everyday situations throughout the trip. Whether connecting with local students, ordering food, or navigating daily interactions, they built confidence in their language skills while gaining a deeper appreciation for different cultures. These experiences reflect both the spirit of our IB program and Snowden’s commitment to developing globally minded learners. (Reported by Ms. Cai)
