Failure to follow these simple guidelines may result in participants being sent home at their own expense and schools not being invited to future sessions. Alcoholic Beverages and Narcotic Drugs Alcoholic Beverages may not be consumed at any time during the conference. The legal age for alcohol consumption in The Netherlands has been set at 18. The use of any form of narcotic drug is expressly prohibited. Students Staying in Hotels and Hostels Students staying in Hotels and Hostels are reminded that they have a great deal of responsibility towards their hosts as well as towards their fellow residents. Special financial arrangements have been made for your benefit. Your cooperation is needed to ensure the on- going success of this programme. Curfew Since MUN sessions are very long and tiring and also out of consideration for housing families and fellow hotel guests, a curfew of 23:00 is recommended from Sunday to Friday. Dress Code As a serious simulation, THIMUN expects personal appearance to be appropriate for a professional setting. Participants (this includes MUN-Directors and Chaperones) should not wear clothing, jewellery, or accessories which are distracting, inappropriate, or which may call attention to themselves – either individually or as a group. Inappropriate dress includes, but is not limited to: - Team accessories such as scarves, hats, non-THIMUN badges/buttons/pins - Sports shoes & denim clothes - National costume or military attire Men should be dressed in a formal suit, shirt, tie, or similar alternative i.e. blazer or jacket with formal trousers. Women should be dressed equally formally in suits, smart separates (whether trousers or skirts) or dresses. Low necklines and/or short skirts are not considered appropriate. The dress code also applies to MUN-Directors. THIMUN reserves the right not to allow inappropriately dressed participants into the World Forum/the forums. 3 THIMUN 2020 Participants Information PREPARATORY MEETINGS AND LOBBY ON MONDAY PREPARATORY MEETINGS AND LOBBY (for location see list on page 7) Note: The Preparatory meetings and Lobby for GA 3 will start at 10:00 in Atlantic Middle!

CDE MSP TSP CDMSP TFLP e TASIS TODAY TASIS Summer Programs 2011 PB eTASIS TODAY Summer Programs 2011 1 An e-magazine for Alumni and Friends of The American School In Switzerland Welcome to the Summer Programs eTASIS Today! Every summer, hundreds of children come to Switzerland to learn, travel, meet new friends, and explore the Alps. Faculty and staff from around the world take a break from their academic year jobs and university courses to act as teachers, counselors, advisors, and dorm parents. The sun-drenched campus becomes a home-away-from-home for the people who make up the TASIS Summer Programs. Summer is a special time at TASIS. Academics are intensive, as students focus on core subjects from languages to the arts. The enviable locations of the TASIS campuses allow 6 students to explore beautiful, interesting, and historic places, giving hands-on experience in their target academic field. This summer edition of eTASIS Today is filled with images and stories from all of the TASIS Summer Programs based in Switzerland, and we hope it captures the spirit of these brief but dynamic weeks. Along with a round-up of the Summer Programs, we’ve included some campus news. We hope you enjoy this e-publication. This e-publication rests on our website, and its format allows us to send it directly to your email address. Some alumni and TASIS friends will not receive this in their inbox, however, since we are still missing the email addresses of many alumni.

  • TASIS TODAY Fall 2014
    TASIS TODAY Fall 2014 A Magazine for Alumni and Friends of The American School In Switzerland The new high-tech Campo Science Center in the heart of the campus From the Chairman Dear Alumni and Friends of TASIS, As the years speed by, it is good to reflect on the highlights of the year since our last TASIS Today. A century after the beginning of World War I, the world again seems to be slipping out of control, with the various horrors perpetrated by human beings on other human beings. In the affluent West, many seem to be losing their moral compass, and even the awareness of a moral universe—or agreement on what is right and what is wrong. 2 At TASIS we try to keep a steady hand on the rudder of our moral vessel to maintain an ethical, professional environment, a climate of mutual respect and human concern, where young people can learn and grow in a safe and inspiring setting and strengthen their God-given, fundamental judgment in differentiating right from wrong, good from evil, true from false, worthy from valueless. As my mother, Mrs. Fleming, often said, “Times change, values don’t.” So many good things are happening at TASIS, summer and winter. Surrounded by beauty, our students, from the youngest of 4 to the oldest of 18, are immersed in a truly loving and caring environment where they have numerous opportunities to learn and grow in wisdom and goodness, have life-enhancing experiences, and make long-lasting friendships, as so many of our alumni know.

Your Child at TASIS Portugal TASIS Portugal is the newest campus in the TASIS family of schools, founded in Switzerland in 1956 by fearless educator and entrepreneur M. Crist Fleming, and fully financially supported by the nonprofit TASIS Foundation. Our longstanding traditions, combined with a genuine love of children and their unique qualities, make TASIS Portugal a beautiful place for your child to grow, play, and learn. TASIS Switzerland was the first American boarding school in Europe, and all TASIS schools maintain the tenets on which it was founded: culture, wisdom, truth, and knowledge; represented by the tower, the lamp, the sun, and the book. Culture Our students are surrounded with beauty, both natural and manmade, to help them appreciate the value of beauty and culture in their lives and reflect it in their hearts and spirits. Wisdom At TASIS, wisdom means a strong mind, a strong body, and strong principles. To us, wisdom is just as much of the heart as of the mind. Truth A TASIS education promotes personal integrity and ethical development, steeped in a belief in academic excellence and the values of Western civilization. Knowledge Through play and learning, and the commitment of its faculty, TASIS encourages students to honor knowledge and become lifelong learners. At TASIS Portugal, we raise caring, curious, competent global citizens in partnership with parents. I invite you to discover more about our special community with a visit to our campus.
