Celebrating the diversity of its students, Tokyo International School (TIS) kicked off the academic year with a New Year Celebration Assembly.
The event acknowledged the Gregorian calendar as well as the Japanese and Chinese New Years. Students joined hands to sing in the year with Auld Lang Syne and crashed cymbals to frighten the Chinese New Year “dragon” creature: Nian.
This event was one of many culturally rich happenings planned by TIS to embrace its mission to nurture open-mindedness in students.
